A New Dope is the fourth studio album by American hip-hop duo 7L & Esoteric. It was released on June 27, 2006, via Babygrande Records. Recorded and mixed at the Pterolab in Boston, self-produced, it features a lone guest appearance from Kool Keith.
The album featured primarily electro-influenced production rather than the boom bap sound typical of their other albums.
