Rumours emerge of new Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar collaboration
Rumours are circling on social media that a new all-star collaboration between Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar could be on the way.
The excitement regarding the potential link-up stems from a recent Twitter post from Grammy-winning producer Fredwreck, who’s worked with Dre and many others.
The post saw the producer re-share an old photo of himself alongside Dre, Eminem and Kendrick. Captioning the photo “Beats n Rhymes,” he also added a microphone emoji and the hashtags #shady and #aftermath.

The new discussion comes after Kendrick Lamar’s label, Top Dawg Entertainment, sparked rumours that the rapper was finally to return with new music in a cryptic new social media post.
The post, shared on social media last week (April 28), simply said “THE WAIT IS OVAH!!!” with a teaser video of a retro ‘loading’ bar. At the end of the clip, the date May 7 2021 appeared.
Whilst no specifics of which Top Dawg artist might be releasing music were given, speculation is rife that Lamar could be releasing a new album soon, especially considering he was due to headline Glastonbury last year.
New solo music from Lamar has been promised for some time, with the president of his label Top Dawg Entertainment most recently suggesting back in January that new material was on the way.
