Can it be? Really? Has Detox finally received a release date? Yes, if what Dr. Dre recently said via a Twitvid is right.

After a decade of waiting on the mythical album from the good doctor, it seems as though fans can stop holding their breath and exhale, because a release date has finally been announced.

While Blaze plugged his artist Saigon's project in a recent video clip, he then revealed the news about Dre's Detox by letting Dre, himself, give the word.

"You know what album's coming out on February 15 (Saigon's Greatest Story Never Told), but then guess what else comes out," Just Blaze said, before turning the camera to reveal Dr. Dre, who says: "Bow bow, 4/20, baby. 4/20, I'm comin'."

So, there you have it, Detox is coming on the national weed smokers' holiday!

However, 4/20 is a Wednesday, a day after the traditional Tuesday release in the U.S. When asked why Dre opted to miss a day of the sales week, Just Blaze explained with a tweet.

"We talked about that. [I'm] sure the publicity and hype of the date release would make up for the lost day," he wrote (@JustBlaze).

Despite the video revelation, Dre and/or his label has yet to officially announce the date the traditional ways -- his website, Twitter page (@DrDre), and/or Facebook pages.

so basically it has to be done right? If he is saying it drops in 90 days? it has to be done...it might be being mixed down or some technical tweaking. Its good to hear him talk about a release date now and no longer just talking about a mythical album. If its done, he is going to have to release it within 90-120 days or it might spring a leak...

Dr. Dre Album Not Coming on 4/20
Despite online video clip, rep tells MTV News Detox is not dropping in April


Yesterday (January 17) Just Blaze posted a video on his Twitter account that showed Dr. Dre hinting that his long awaited album, Detox, would be released on April 20 [watch below]. A rep for rap legend spoke to MTV News and debunked the rumors, saying the date was not referring to the LP’s release. As of press time, it is unclear what the superproducer was promoting.

Back in November, Dre dropped his first single for the project, the Snoop Dogg and Akon assisted “Kush.” To date the song has peaked at No. 11 on Billboard’s Rap Songs chart.

Dre told XXL in our Dec/Jan 2011 issue that he’s amped about finally releasing the disc—which is 12 years in the making. “I’m really feeling it now,” he said. “My energy has been back and forth with the record, tussling with doing it out of obligation, as opposed to doing it because I really feel it. My feelings about it have been going up and down. Now I’m in that place where I’m really feeling it, and it’s coming out right. It’s like, Yeah, I’m excited about it.”

As of press time Detox does not have an official release date. —Elan Mancini
