Xzibit is set to release “Weapons of Mass Destruction” on December 7th, it will be released on Sony Music.
The album features production from Timbaland, Hi-Tek, Rick Rock, Battlecat, Denaun Porter, Jellyroll, Sir Jinx and more.
(No word on if the Dr.Dre produced “Grown man business” makes the album, or if it’s retitled)
Those who have heard the Timbaland produced first single “Hey Now” will be pleased to know that the album will have more serious subject matters.
Xzibit told MTV:
“I have always been aware of my surroundings. So not putting that in the forefront of my creativity would be a travesty. I had to put it out there.”
The first track on the album takes aim at George W. Bush, twisting his own words against him, comparing Bush to his enemies.
The Jellyroll produced “Cold World” also have a political message.
About working with Timbaland:
“Timbaland was crazy to work with. When he stepped in the studio, it was like working with Morpheus from ‘The Matrix’ ﾗ he stepped in with three beats and said, ‘Pick one.’ They all sounded crazy, but I could only pick one. I picked one and he hooked me up. I never wrote like that before either. He scatted out something for me and then I wrote the lyrics to it.”
