Snoop Dogg has confirmed his pal Dr. Dre’s long-awaited new album "Detox" is complete, after helping to add the finishing touches.

And the "Gin N’ Juice" hitmaker is convinced the rap mogul’s first new release in nine years will put him back at the top of the hip-hop game.

Snoop reveals Dre is currently selecting tracks for the album, adding, "That record is real, it’s coming... I was starting to doubt it myself and then I went up in there and he played so much music for me it knocked my head off. I see what he got them waiting for. It’s on and poppin’. He got records, he got heat."

Since the release of his album 2001 in 1999, Dr. Dre has dedicated his time to launching and helping the careers of other rappers like Eminem, The Game and 50 Cent.

It is rumoured that ’Detox’ could be Dr Dre’s final studio album.
