Dr. Dre’s landmark LP, ‘The Chronic’ will soon hit all streaming platforms
On April 20, Dr. Dre‘s seminal 1992 LP, The Chronic, will make a historic leap to streaming platforms. The iconic release has largely evaded digital services since Dre’s 2011 triumph in a lawsuit against Death Row Records that ruled that the producer had the right to individually decide the album’s distribution format.
Dre elected to make The Chronic available only physically, and the LP consequently remained digitally inaccessible until 2015, when Dre partnered with Apple Music to The Chronic to stream on the platform following its launch. Now at long last, The Chronic, which features landmark releases such as “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” and “Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’)” will make its way to Spotify and other streaming services, following the album’s recent introduction into the Library of Congress‘ archives.
