Dre produced the 1999 debut album for Eminem, helping to launch his career. Dre’s second album, 2001, was released and considered a return to his roots. Afterward, Dre focused on production, working with rappers like Jay Z and Young Buck. Dre was reportedly working on a third album, Detox, but as of 2015, it has yet to be released. Since 2008, Dre has been associated with his brand of headphones, Beats by Dre.
