Dr. Dre ‘The Chronic’ is Now Available On Streaming Platforms

Dr Dre, last year wanted to do this in December, however, the super hip-hop producer changed his mind and finally, The Chronic had been released yesterday Feb. 1st 2023.

Already, Snoop Dogg who is now the CEO of Death Row records removed The Chronic from major streaming platforms after he purchased the record label. Although he has given his reasons why he did that.
“First thing I did was snatch all the music off those platforms traditionally known to people, because those platforms don’t pay,” he said. “And those platforms get millions of millions of streams, and nobody gets paid other than the record labels. So what I wanted to do is snatch my music off, create a platform similar to Amazon, Netflix, Hulu. It’ll be a Death Row app, and the music, in the meantime, will live in the metaverse.”
So, if you don’t have Spotify account then you should create one and listen to the full songs from The Chronic album. Now, was there any change made to the album? Well, the Iconic album has remained unchanged with its 16 solid tracks.
