As most of you know by now, former powerhouse record label Death Row was on the auction block earlier this year.

Within months of copping the company’s somewhat depreciated assets, Lara Lavi, current CEO of WIDEawake Death Row, has already initiated new releases from the label. Amidst praise and neighs alike, on September 1st the first album distributed will be a reissue of Dr. Dre’s Chronic, called Chronic Re-Lit. While technically this is old news to most of you, the update is in the audio below.

As Lavi had promised, Re-Lit will include seven bonus tracks, letting listeners hear a few leftovers from their favorite inmates’ golden years.

In my opinion, the random and loose organization of these songs should’ve never been placed next to the timeless pieces included within the OG Chronic, but that doesn’t mean new material from Snoop Doggy Dogg, Jewell, CPO and Tha Dogg Pound isn’t welcomed. However, seeing as I’ve only included a few, you’ll just have to support the release if you want to hear the rest.
