(CBS 3)
Michael Jackson has enlisted a hip-hop giant to be part of his new album team.
Kanye West will produce Jackson's new album.
The rapper will join Akon, Wyclef, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo to help Jackson produce his first studio album since 2001.
West says, "I'm working on stuff for Michael Jackson. If I like a person's outlet or what a person brings to the table then I'll speak to them."
The album is expected to be released next year.
