Work for the upcoming album dates back to 2001, where its first version was called the most advanced rap album ever, by producer Scott Storch.

Producers confirmed to work on the album include DJ Khalil, Nottz, Bernard Focus Edwards Jr.,Hi-Tek,J.R.

Rotem,RZA, Jay-Z, Warren G, and Boi-1da.Snoop Dogg claimed that Detox was finished, according to a June 2008 report by Rolling Stone magazine.

After another delay based on producing other artists work, Detox was then scheduled for a 2010 release, coming after 50 Cents Before I Self Destruct and Eminems Relapse, an album for which Dr.

Dre handled the bulk of production duties.

In a Dr Pepper commercial that debuted on May 28, 2009, he premiered the first official snippet of Detox.

Cent and Eminem asserted in an interview on BETs 106 Park that Dr.

Dre had around a dozen songs finished for Detox.

On April 20, 2010, Under Pressure, featuring Jay-Z and co-produced with Scott Storch, was confirmed by Jimmy Iovine and Dr.

Dre during an interview at Fenway Park as the albums first single.

The song leaked prior to its intended release in an unmixed, unmastered form without a chorus on June 16, 2010:90 however, critical reaction to the song was lukewarm, and Dr.

Dre later announced in an interview that the song, along with any other previously leaked tracks from Detoxs recording process, would not appear on the final version of the album.

Two genuine singles Kush, a collaboration with Snoop Dogg and fellow rapper Akon, and I Need a Doctor with Eminem and singer Skylar Grey were released in the United States during November 2010 and February 2011 respectively: the latter achieved international chart success, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and later being certified double platinum by the RIAA and the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).2494.

Numerous release dates (including the ones mentioned above) have been given for the album over the years since it was first announced, although none of them have transpired to be genuine.

Several musicians closely affiliated with Dr.

Dre, including Snoop Dogg, fellow rappers 50 Cent and Game and producer DJ Quik, have speculated in interviews that the album will never be released, due to Dr.

Dres business and entrepreneurial ventures having interfered with recording work, as well as causing him to lose motivation to record new material.
