In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, Dr. Dre said he spoke to Compton Mayor Aja Brown about ways to give back to the city with the release of his first album in 16 years.
"Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre," for the N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton" which opens August 14th, was released today.
"I'm honored that Mr. Young has decided to make a significant investment in his community," Brown said in a statement. "He clearly has a heart for Compton, especially our youth. I believe this performing arts center will provide a pathway for creative expression, exposure and training to the myriad of industries that support arts, entertainment and technology — while providing a much-needed safe haven for our youth."
