In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dr. Dre revealed that he will be releasing Detox sometime in mid 2008. Dr. Dre initially wanted to release new material in 2004 but dissatisfaction has led to the album being delayed. It was even reported that the beats were eventually sold to rapper The Game. The reason behind this is apparently the attempt to make a perfect piece, worthy to be called his final. The plan is to devote his time as a producer once again, particularly working on Eminem's new album. "I think it's time to move on." He also hinted that his album will be released as soon as Eminem's record is dropped. "We'll be trying to get his thing done and work on a few things on my own project," Dre said.
