Dr. Dre appears on a new remix of Kardinal Offishall's "Set It Off" which has leaked to radio.

DJ Skee's syndicated radio show premiered the track, which features new raps from Dre and Clipse's Pusha-T, on Monday. But the song wasn't supposed to leak.

Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine sent Dre B-roll from the video for "Set It Off" a few months ago, and Dre apparently liked the song so much that he wanted to record his own rhymes for a remix. The track was supposed to be released earlier this year, but after Dre's long-delayed Detox album was pushed back yet again, those plans were shelved.

You can hear the remix here.

Dre hasn't rhymed much since 2004, when he appeared on Eminem's "Encore" with 50 Cent. Other than "Set It Off," his only recent appearances or rhymes of any kind have been on Timbaland's "Bounce" and Snoop Dogg's "Imagine."

In the meantime, you can see Offishall here:
