It’s been a long time coming but Method Man has finally announced the release of his new solo album titled The Meth Lab. It was originally supposed to be a mixtape and due in March this year but will now be treated as a full length album, hitting stores August 21 via Tommy Boy Entertainment.
The album will feature guest appearances from Redman, Raekwon, Hanz On, Streetlife, Inspectah Deck and more plus production from Ron Browz, Allah Mathematics, J57, and 4th Disciple. He also chatted briefly with nerdist about the album:
What can we expect from the new album?
I kept it real and low-key, like I do in my studio. I know a lot of artists that have reached out, but I wanted to save those artists for my last Method Man album. I wanted this one to be a platform for more Staten Island artists to be heard that aren’t getting heard, because you know if it isn’t Wu Tang–I mean, we never blocked anyone from trying to get a record deal. I mean the way the record industry works is, if something’s not broke, don’t fix it. Bottom line is there’s a lot more talent to be heard from Staten Island outside of Wu Tang artists, and these kids are dope. I wanted to just give them a platform to be heard. I’m on every song, but I’m not exactly on any songs by myself, with the exception of one.
