Soon Mohrle, who's relocated to Los Angeles, was posting cryptic photos on Instagram of himself with Dre and even Gwen Stefani. As D Magazine reported earlier this year, Mohrle got connected with Dre after Dallas-raised legend and former N.W.A. Compton: The Soundtrack is an appropriately misleading title from an artist who hasn't released a new record in 16 years, as it won't be the soundtrack to the movie but a collection of new songs inspired by the city itself - and, more important, by some of the young talent that Dre has recently surrounded himself with.Īmong that young talent is Mohrle, a Garland native who first started making waves locally by rapping under the name Love, JT in hip-hop crew the Brain Gang, which also included Blue, the Misfit and Sam Lao. biopic Straight Outta Compton is set to be released on August 14, with the long-in-the-works Detox apparently now abandoned for good. The news comes right as the highly anticipated N.W.A. Compton marks the long-awaited release of material Dre recorded with Dallas rapper Justin Mohrle, who it turns out is featured prominently on the new record. Dre releasing a new album is big news for any hip-hop fan, but his new (and supposedly 'final' album) Compton: The Soundtrack is especially big news for Dallas.
