The N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton comes out August 14. In a new interview with Philadelphia radio station Power 99 (pointed out by Consequence of Sound), Ice Cube said that Dr. Dre is dropping a new album inspired by the film this Saturday, August 1.

"It’s mega, you know, it’s Dr. Dre, it’s what everybody been waiting for," Ice Cube said. “It’s definitely a dope record, and he’s dropping it all on the same day. It's crazy."

Earlier this month, director F. Gary Gary told MTV that Dre had enlisted Kendrick Lamar and Eminem for the film's soundtrack. It's unclear if the soundtrack and the Dre album are the same release.

In the Power 99 interview, Cube also talked about the rumored N.W.A. reunion tour. "Yeah, there's a possibility for sure," he said. "We've definitely been talking about it. It's just really about promotors coming to the table and we put together something that works for everybody. It's definitely, definitely possible.
