After keeping a relatively low profile for the last four years, Naughty By Nature has teamed up with Korn, Big Pun and Next to collaborate on songs for the rappers upcoming album, "19-Naughty-Nine: Nature's Fury," due out on March 23.
Joint tracks on the new album include "Radio" with Korn, "Live or Die" with Mystikal and Silkk the Shocker, "We Could Do It" with Big Pun, "Thugs & Hustlas" with Scarface and "Blu Balls" with Next. The revived rap group is also hoping to cut something with Rob Zombie before handing in the final tapes for the album to Arista, Naughty By Nature's new label. Since Naughty's last album, 1995's "Poverty's Paradise," band members Treach and Kay Gee have each spent time focusing on their own projects, and have produced tracks and re-mixes for various other hip-hop artists. As we previously reported (see "Naughty By Nature's Treach Talks About His New Hip-Hop Tot") Treach also became a father last year, as Pepa (from Salt-N-Pepa) gave birth to the couple's child, a baby girl named Egypt, in September. Naughty By Nature's new album isn't due out for a few months, but one track, "Dirt All By My Lonely," has already been leaked to radio, and an "Enemy of the State"-style video for the song was shot at the Brooklyn Naval Yard last month.
