Straight jacked from AHH:

Sho 'Nuff Records CEO/producer Jazze Pha and Goodie Mob group member Cee-Lo have linked up with Capital Records to release their debut collaboration Happy Hour.

"It was inevitable that we would do a project," Jazze Pha told AllHipHop.com. “When we came together to do Happy Hour, we both knew exactly what the other was wanting to bring to the table, so that in itself was worth the time, to see what type of genius would come out of our minds."

Happy Hour, which features collaborations with artists Nate Dogg, Mannie Fresh and The Pussy Cat Dolls, will be a mixture of new school Hip-Hop with old school funk.

The album also includes guest appearances by R&B veterans Keith Sweat and Aaron Hall, which was a memorable experience for Cee-Lo.

"I just feel grateful that [Keith Sweat and Aaron Hall] even wanted to do the album," Cee-Lo said. "For them to step into the studio and record with us and even know who we are is amazing and something we will never forget."

Besides the collaboration for Happy Hour, Cee-Lo and Jazze Pha are both staying busy with other projects.

Cee-Lo, whose daughter was featured on the hit MTV “Sweet Sixteen," is in talks with MTV about a new reality show starring his family.

"We are in talks right now," Cee-Lo told AllHipHop.com. "It is definitely something that I would love to do again and something that we are working out right now."

Cee-Lo is also working with famed producer Danger Mouse to release a new solo project entitled Gnarls Barkley, as well as an untitled Goodie Mob reunion album.

Jazze Pha, who is label head at Sho 'Nuff Records, has a role in the upcoming film “Jelly Beans,” which was written by Dallas Austin, Tina Chism ("Drumline"), Antwone Fisher ("Antwone Fisher") and others.

The flick is being directed by Chris Robinson and also stars T.I.

"I play a DJ in the film," Jazze said. "It was cool because it wasn't some cameo where I was playing me, I was really acting. This is definitely something that I am going to take seriously. I am in the process now of taking classes and reviewing scripts, to make sure that I choose what's right for me."

Besides acting Jazze Pha is also preparing the upcoming sophomore effort from Ciara and his new artist, Tone Tone.

"I am firm believer that as long as you love what you do, it's not real work," Jazze continued. “[With} the stuff that's coming out of Sho 'Nuff, people best to get ready. We aren't holding nothing back."

Happy Hour hits stores February 14th, 2006.

The project with Jazze sounds dope with Nate and Mannie Fresh appearing on the album. I hope Jazze drops some heat, more often than not his shit is boring. But the best news is that there is a Goodie Mob reunion album in the works. Lets hope we get that with a bunch of organized noize production.

Word to all that. I'm not a Jazze Pha fan, but i think anything that Cee-lo is involved in is gonna be dope. I can't front, his last album had its wack moments, but that wasn't due to him it was mainly his outside producers. I just hope all of these projects see the light of day.
