Last month, Fredro Starr announced he and Layzie Bone were working on a collaborative album. The two, while members of different groups, have known each other for nearly two decades. The two rappers, now in full control of their respective careers, are coming together for a joint album.

Fredro Starr recently explained how things came together. The two rappers met in the early 1990s and they have gone through similar problems. Both Fredro Starr and Layzie Bone lost their mentors long before their prime. Fredro Starr lost Jam Master Jay, while Layzie Bone lost Eazy-E.

Each time he is around Layzie Bone, Fredro Starr said it is like a game of basketball. Bone Thugz N Harmony and Onyx were always competitive. Fredro Starr's friend, Maybach Dice, was in the studio with Layzie Bone and Fredro Starr was also there. This led to the recording of "Going in For the Kill," which eventually led to a fll album between Fredro Starr and Layzie Bone.

The joint album is to be released sometime in 2012.
