Music news Ludacris ghostwrites 'O.G.'s Theme' for Dr. Dre's Detox

In a recent interview with Rap-Up.com, Ludacris confirmed that a recently leaked track (listen above) is indeed one of the songs he has ghostwritten for Dr. Dre's long-delayed album, Detox.
“It was supposed to be for Detox, but I don’t know since it got leaked. I don’t know if it’s gonna get used.”
The song, "O.G.'s Theme," showcases a husky-voiced Luda rapping under the guise of Dr. Dre: "The first nigga wit a attitude/with 30 mil sold where the fuck the gratitude?/Huh, I see all these little B.G.s/mean-muggin' on the screen trying to be me."
It isn't the first rumored Detox track to leak featuring an Atlanta rapper providing the legendary producer with reference vocals. Earlier this year, a song titled "Shit Popped Off" hit the ’net with T.I. rapping over an unmistakable Dr. Dre instrumental. That track ended up in Dr. Dre's recent Dr. Pepper commercial spot, minus T.I.'s rap. Atlanta rapper Killer Mike has also reportedly submitted work for Detox.
Perhaps, after all these years, the announced release dates for Dr. Dre's comeback album are real. From the sound of things, he may be using a handful of Georgia boys to help him return with a vengeance.
