*Mary J. Blige recently chopped it up with the hosts of The Breakfast Club and revealed she has a memoir releasing soon and she’s working on a new album with hip-hop icon Dr. Dre.
The announcement comes on the heels of the release of her 15th album, “Good Morning Gorgeous.”
“That was something I always wanted to do: to do a produced album by Dr. Dre, because everything he does, you know you’re going to smashes and you know it’s going to be excellent,” she said, as reported by MadameNoire. “I was like, ‘Yo, this is a dream come true for me. I want you to produce an album for me.’ And he was like ‘Oh my God, it’s a dream come true for me!’ And then boom, here we are. It’s really happening.”

A day after Dre’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, he told TMZ that he and Blige are already in the studio brainstorming.
“Everybody was extremely excited,” Dr. Dre said. “Mary came back here to the house last night and we went downstairs to the studio, and she was playing me samples and we were just vibing out.”
