    This official release on streaming services of The Contract EP finally gave us the quality these songs needed to shine. Phenomenal, on rotation since Friday & I’m not stopping soon.

    Can’t wait for the album.

    There are some mixing-changes:

    - I think some vocal-stacks from dre are quieter now (ETA & Gospel hook)

    - Some instrumentsin Gospel (piano, synth and the guitar in the hook) are really quiet now.

    - The trumpets in The Scenic Route are also extremely quieter now.
    Snare seems to be louder though.

    - Vocals at the end of Fallin Up and Black Privilege are quieter now and seem to be eq'd more (?)

    - The melody and hi-hats in Diamond Mind aren't as prominent as in the rips. Ty's backround vocals are stripped back too.

    Album is still not finished. Don't think it will be released in February, rather in March or April

    What did you guys expect? lol it's for casual listeners not just Em and Aftermath stans. They will perform their biggest hits like he said. Hope Kendrick will perform The Recipe though, that's a nice collab with Dre.

    Did I hear right that Dre got them to extend to performance time from a usual 11 to 13 minutes? Not really that important but just to add it as a detail to the summary

    Same. I think it aired and now we have to wait until they upload it. There's a chance it will end up on big boy's youtube-channel.

    This basically. Even if they move stadiums the performance will still happen. They will all just have to deal with the weird emotional s--- of it being not how they expected.

    I would sign up so fast for that app/service! Would be my first and only music streaming subscription! I still just listen on YouTube and buy occasional projects on iTunes.

    I still think Dre should give some of those beats away, it's a shame we will never hear a mixed & mastered version of Topless.

    Just heard Topless again, man I'm bummed out about the fact that the early version of Detox will never drop.
    I'm sure dre got classic verses in his vault.

    I'd like to be proven wrong but I get the feeling that the new stuff might not be on par.
