GHOSTFACE KILLAH RELEASES NEW SINGLE

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Ghostface Killah is set to release his second album, Fishscale, under his current deal with Def Jam Records in March. The rapper recently leaked the first single from the project, "Like That" featuring Ne-Yo, who is also signed to Island Def Jam Records. The singer shared his thoughts on being a featured artist on a Ghostface Killah song. Ne-Yo told MTV.com, "Ghostface is one of the most original hip-hop artists around. He's a legend. Just to be considered for the song was an honor. He's true hip-hop."

Ghostface's last studio release was 2004's The Pretty Toney Album.

The rapper recently released an independent project, Put It On The Line, with his frequent collaborator and protege Trife Da God. The set includes some original material from a joint album the two rappers are working on titled, From Stapleton To Somalia, as well as some previously unreleased material from Ghostface Killah including "The Watch" featuring Raekwon and "The Sun" featuring Raekwon and Slick Rick. Both songs were pulled off the rapper's classic 2001 album, Bulletproof Wallets, due to sample clearance issues.
