Dr. Dre is putting his money where his mouth is.

Yep, the rap star just revealed that he’s making a 10 million dollar donation to Compton High School, so they can build a performing arts complex on campus.

The facility is slated to include top notch technology with amenities such as digital media studios and a theatre that seats 1200 people.

When speaking with the Los Angeles Times, the 52 year old said that his goal with the donation is to provide kids with the kind of tools and learning they deserve.

Construction is slated to begin in 2020, and Dre will also continue to be active in fundraising to flesh out the rest of the budget.

Dr. Dre is worth an estimated 740 million dollars, partly due to his record of work, and sale of Beats by Dre to Apple.

City officials have hailed the Compton native for his investment in the community.
