Billboard first reported on the business transaction involving the rap veteran, whose real name is Andre Young.

The package the Forgot About Dre artist sells reportedly includes a percentage of his royalties earned as a member of the NWA group.

It also covers a couple of his solo albums; producer royalties; and it comes from his writing royalties on material to which he has no publishing rights (which might include tracks from 1993’s The Chronic).

Insiders told Billboard that Shamrock, which also owns a portion of Taylor Swift’s master recordings, owns about 75 to 90 percent of the revenue-generating portion, with UMG holding the other 10 to 25 percent.

UMG would acquire the recording from The Chronic, which will transfer ownership from Dr. Dre to Death Row Entertainment (owned by Snoop Dogg) in August.

It would also be online to acquire Dr. Dre’s share in a part of the Kendrick Lamar catalog.

The package does not present his proprietary rights to the Aftermath label, which he owns with Interscope Records.
