Dr. Dre's on-again, off-again album Detox has become a bit of a punchline in the hip hop community. The proposed follow up to 1999's Chronic 2001 has been in the works for years, and has even had a few false-start singles. 

Meanwhile, Dre has been making a killing off of his Beats headphones empire, moving him past Jay Z as the second richest rapper in the game just this week.

While some fans have given up hope, many still anxiously await any news of the album's existence, and a new photo of Dre in the studio with Q-Tip is the closest we've come to that in a while.

Q posted said photo to Instagram today, but the most telling clue was not in the photo itself but the caption which read, "#detox #lastzulu #hideyodrummachines #beatsnrhymes".

Q-Tip's upcoming album, The Last Zulu, which is hashtagged alongside Detox, has also experienced its share of delays. Perhaps the two have decided to get together to finally release their highly-anticipated projects?

Check out the post below. Do you think this a sign that Detox is coming soon?
