The forthcoming NWA movie, Straight Outta Compton has announced its soundtrack will feature new music from Dr. Dre, his first in 15 years, as well as Eminem and Kendrick Lamar.

Director F. Gary Gray told MTV news "The soundtrack is insane. Seriously, it’s incredible. He went deep and you can hear some of his influences, with jazz and soul and a little bit of funk. And Kendrick Lamar is on, Eminem; a lot of great guest stars. But it’s really Dre and how he’s evolved and how he’s matured as not only a person, but as an artist. It’s deep and it’s great."

The movie comes out August 14th, watch the trailer below.
