Chad Kiser - Conversations With Chad; M80 Says Kurupt’s Next Album Is Coming Through Aftermath — Could It Be Dr. Dre’s Unnamed Project?
Kurupt could be headed to Aftermath Entertainment in 2027, according to longtime collaborator M80—a development that raises an intriguing question about one of the two projects Dr. Dre says he wants to finish before taking an extended break.
Could that second project belong to Kurupt? M80’s statement makes the possibility worth considering. An Aftermath release would also leave open a separate question: whether Dre is producing the album, overseeing it, or involved in another capacity.
M80 has an established working relationship with Kurupt with his involvement in 7Ps: Tha Gotti Way and the rollout for Kurupt and C-Mob’s Don’t Be Stupid in 2022. His latest comment concerns a subsequent Kurupt release, distinct from the Kingpins Theory project being promoted in the post.
Kurupt has already described what a full project with Dre would mean to him. In his 2018 Conversations With Chad interview, when asked who he would choose for a definitive, ten-song legacy album, his answer was immediate.
“Dr. Dre, hands down,” Kurupt said. “Dr. Dre because he’s not going to allow me to slack.”
He explained that Dre pushes him through repeated takes and revisions, demanding his best performance. Kurupt envisioned Dre overseeing the entire record, with room for contributions from Daz Dillinger and Soopafly.
Eight years later, M80’s comment puts that ambition back into conversation. Whether it points to Dre’s unnamed project remains unconfirmed, but a Kurupt album through Aftermath would bring their decades of collaboration into a new chapter.
