MEAT LOAF RECRUITS RAPPERS FOR WORLD-WEARY NEW LP
Lil Jon and Public Enemy's Chuck D will feature as guest rappers on Meat Loaf's new album 'Hell In A Handbasket', Meat has confirmed.
Speaking in praise of Chuck D's contribution to the record, a cover of Tom Cochrane's 'Mad Mad World', the rocker says: "Chuck D is the rapper's rapper. He is the original, and every rapper that has come after him wants to be like him. For us to have him on this record is a major coup and I am so impressed with what he wrote!"
And as self-explanatory as his motivation for making the album may seem, Meat is nonetheless keen to explain it. "'Hell In A Handbasket' is the most personal record I've ever made", he says. "It's about how I feel the world's gone to hell in a handbasket. It's really the first record that I've ever put out about how I feel about life and how I feel about what's going on at the moment".
