Dr. Dre is back with new music and is seemingly preparing for a new album.

The legendary hitmaker dropped his new single “Gunfiyah” is featured in Dre’s new documentary Defiant Ones, a new HBO documentary series chronicling the rise of Dre and Jimmy Iovine from Interscope Records to Apple execs, after premiering on Dre’s Beats1 radio show The Pharmacy. The staccato-paced track features  Dr. Dre dropping heat as he drops jewels while flexing on his peers.

“Who got a hit just like this? And got heart and rich like this?/Never failed, 20 years and he still got grip like this/And got kids with a super hot bitch like this/You spending time tryna get like this.”

In addition to dropping new music, the documentary has also brought up old wounds as Dre discussed the infamous 1991 incident between himself and veteran journalist Dee Barnes. During the second part of the four-part documentary, Dre recalls the event calling a “blemish on who he is as a man.”

“Any man that puts his hands on a female is a fucking idiot,” Dre says in the documentary. “He’s out of his fucking mind, and I was out of my fucking mind at the time. I fucked up, I paid for it, I’m sorry for it, I apologize for it.”

In regards to his reputation following the attack, Dre says, “I have this dark cloud that follows me, it’s attached to me forever. It’s a major blemish on who I am as a man.”

Part three of the documentary is scheduled to debut on HBO on Tuesday at 9 pm est.
