After a high-profile feud with L.L. Cool J earlier this summer, rapper Canibus is set to release his debut album this week, and is determined to prove that he do it alone.

Canibus fought the urge to load his album with special guest stars, as seems to be the trend in hip-hop. The rapper's self-titled debut does feature the help of his mentor Wyclef Jean and Wyclef's Fugee partner Pras, but is essentially all Canibus beyond that.

"I would have liked to have a lot of people on my album," Canibus told MTV News recently of his approach to his album.

Listeners can now make the final call as "Canibus" is in stores now.
