In a recent interview over at HipHopDX, Smif-N-Wesson revealed plans to team with Pete Rock, whom would handle all of the production for the group’s forthcoming fifth LP. While contracts are not signed yet, the wheels are in motion.

“We’re in the works, we’re talking, we’re going through the red tape and the papers and all of that, making sure everything is right, everybody is going to be taken care of and everything is happy. We kicked it with Pete, and he’s definitely excited about doing the project, and we know we’re excited about doing the project, this our fifth album. We thought about it, we were like ‘Alright, we can do it two ways: we can have Da Beatminerz do the album, or we can have Pete Rock do the album.’ We thought about, ‘Well, since Beatminerz is going to be doing the next Black Moon album, then we probably just need to do something a little different,” said Steele. – DJ Pizzo
