Dr. Dre and Marsha Ambrosius Announces New Collaboration

Dr. Dre is coming back with a new album!

Dr. Dre has stated that he has finished an album with Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry. The West Coast legend announced the project, Casablanco, on Instagram on Sunday (December 12), while taking a selfie with a room full of artists.

He wrote, “I just finished recording an album with Marsha Ambrosius. Casablanco I had a blast!! This is some of my best work!!”

Ambrosius also announced the news on her own Instagram page, where she shared a selfie of herself in the studio with Dr. Dre, sporting a Wu-Tang Clan shirt.

On his Instagram Stories, violinist Eric Gorfain revealed more details about the album, revealing that recording sessions took place throughout the summer.

He wrote, “The cat is out the bag. I spent this summer arranging strings for this entire album, reuniting with @drdre and @marshaambrosius. Casablanco is seriously good. Marsha is ridiculously good. Dre is The Greatest.”

Dr. Dre previously collaborated with Marsha Ambrosius on four songs from her 2015 Compton album, including "Genocide," "All in a Day's Work," "Darkside/Gone," and "Satisfaction." In 2014, Dre also appeared on Marsha Ambrosius' Friends Lovers album, on the track "Stronger," which sampled Jeru The Damaja's 1993 song "Come Clean."

The Game's "Start from Scratch" and Nas' "Hustlers," as well as Busta Rhymes' "Cocaina" and "Get You Some," are among their other collaborations.

Marsha Ambrosius discussed her affiliation with Dr. Dre and working with connected rappers in a 2014 interview with Complex.

She added at the time, “We’ve been working together since like ‘05 and that’s been nonstop really since then. Whether it was The Game’s album or Busta Rhymes and his stuff and my own projects, it was just time. Timing is everything. And I just didn’t know it was going to be the same week that he became a billionaire.”

"There’s so much work to do,” she added. “So we’ll just continue to do so like we always have been. It’s weird with current times. People used to read credits. I still read credits and where people do things. I want to know who the engineer was on certain songs. There’s a couple of us bouncing around who still knows who does what.”

Dr. Dre's collaboration with Marsha Ambrosius isn't the only project he's working on. He'll be included in a new story-based expansion for Grand Theft Auto Online on Wednesday (December 15), which will include new music from Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Anderson.Paak, and others.
