Dr. Dre's 'Detox' gets release date

A release date for the long-awaited third and final studio album from Dr. Dre has been announced.

According to NME, the album will finally be released sometime in February 2011.

The album has been expected since 2003 but Dre's work with other artists caused the release date to be pushed back on a number of occasions.

Detox will feature several guest artists including the likes of Dre's former protégé Eminem as well as Akon, Jay-Z and English singer La Roux.

The first single from Detox, called 'Kush', will be available to download from November 21.
