Taylor Swift’s 1989 album isn’t the only high profile record exclusive coming to Apple’s new streaming music service when it launches tomorrow. According to Rolling Stone, Apple Music is also including Dr. Dre’s classic album The Chronic for streaming which will be a first digital hip-hop album. The album’s inclusion in the catalog is especially notable as it hasn’t yet been available digitally including through the iTunes Store or Beats Music.

That’s due in part to a legal battle over the rights to the record with Dr. Dre being awarded digital rights to the album in 2011 while the label Death Row holds the rights to physical sales. Dr. Dre, of course, co-founded Beats Electronics and Beats Music, which Apple acquired for $3 billion last year. Apple Music is based heavily on that acquisition with many elements from the Beats Music service present on Apple’s new streaming music service.

In addition to it, Dr. Dre will also have a slot on Beats 1 streaming radio station on “The Pharmacy” alongside other notable artists including Drake and Elton John with Zane Lowe leading the effort. Apple Music launches with iOS 8.4 and updates to iTunes tomorrow at 8 AM PT while Beats 1 begins broadcasting at 9 AM.
