Dr. Dre’s ‘The Chronic’ Is Finally On Streaming Services

The Chronic, Dr. Dre‘s acclaimed debut studio album, has finally arrived on streaming services. The influential West Coast hip hop record has long been absent from streaming platforms, but is now accessible more than 30 years after its initial release.

Dropping on 15th December, 1992, The Chronic was an important development not just for the career of Dr. Dre, but for commercial hip hop as a whole. Following the unceremonious split of N.W.A in 1991, Dr. Dre embarked upon a solo career. The Chronic was distributed by Interscope Records in partnership with Dre’s own Death Row Records.

The album was a massive hit, selling close to six million copies and spending eight months in the US top ten. The Chronic boasted three singles (‘Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang’, ‘Fuck Wit Dre Day [And Everybody’s Celebratin’]’, and ‘Let Me Ride’), and helped launch the career of Snoop Dogg.

“I am thrilled to bring The Chronic home to its original distribution partner, Interscope Records,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “Working alongside my longtime colleagues, Steve Berman and John Janick, to re-release the album and make it available to fans all over the world is a full circle moment for me.”

The album’s arrival on streaming services also comes accompanied by the launch of a special The Chronic merch collection.
