Marsha Ambrosius and Dr. Dre team up on “CASABLANCO” album.
After announcing it a few years back, Marsha Ambrosius and Dr. Dre finally released their joint album titled “CASABLANCO” through Aftermath and Interscope Records. This is a follow-up to Abrosius’ 2018 album “Nyla”. The album comes with a pack of 11 tracks, which is entirely produced by Dr. Dre, who also assists with the writing.
Dr. Dre first teased the project back in December 2021. “I just finished recording an album with Marsha Ambrosius. “Casablanco” I had a blast!! This is some of my best work,” he Wrote at the time. The duo previously collaborated on the 2015’s album “Compton”, on the tracks like “Darkside/Gone”, “All in a Day’s Work”, “Satisfiction”, and “Genocide.”

“End of 2020, Dre and myself were going back and forth, shooting each other ideas,” the Floetry singer said last year. “And January 2021 happens and I’m pretty sure everyone got the text alert. Sorry to bring up your personal but we all saw it. It was Dr. Dre’s brain aneurysm and I remember my heart stopped and I’m calling everyone.”
She continued: “I’m like, ‘Yo fool, what happened?’ [They’re like] ‘Everything is okay. Relax, calm down. Dre is okay.’ I get a call from Dre and by February 2021, I was out working with him. So his rehab, his rehabilitation and resurgence back into wanting to make music to make people feel good was what I needed. Ultimately, what he needed. And this album was kind of our trauma bond in some way.”
Dr. Dre shared during the listening session that the project started with the intention of creating music for himself, but it transformed into something entirely unexpected. “And the way it started out was she actually flew down to work on some songs for me,” Dre said. “And all of a sudden I’m like okay let’s work on some songs for you. Let’s work on three or four songs and all of a sudden that turned into an entire album over a two-week period.”
