In June, 2007, Phoenix-based Colossus Books, a subsidiary of Amber Books, the largest publisher of African American-related celebrity biographies in the U.S., will publish 'Dr. Dre: In the Studio' by Jake Brown, which focuses exclusively on the hip hop production godfather's studio craft, exploring the writing and production of all of Dr. Dre's catalog of smash hit albums and singles.
The book will debut at the annual Book Expo, being held this year in New York City at the Jacob Javitz Center. Amber Books' other published titles by Brown include books on Kanye West, Biggie Smalls, 50 Cent, Tupac Shakur, R. Kelly, Jay Z, and Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. Additionally, that same month, Rock N' Roll Books will publish 'Red Hot Chili Peppers: In the Studio', also by Brown, which studies the 25 year recording career of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
