Some of Roger Troutman's last recorded work will turn up on Kool Keith's forthcoming album, "Black Elvis/Lost in Space," as the slain Zapp frontman appears on the track "Master of the Game."

As we previously reported (see "Zapp's Roger And Larry Troutman Killed In Apparent Murder-Suicide"), Troutman was fatally shot outside of a studio in Dayton, Ohio in the early hours of April 25. During a recent interview with the MTV Radio Network, Kool Keith talked about working with Troutman, a man Keith says he feels honored to have had a chance to work with.

"I'd rather not see anybody go out that way," Keith explained. "That's another original person gone. I mean, I get off to hear another [talkbox on a] record. Some people don't like it because they're doing what they think is funky. I feel that's a big loss. What can you say?"

Kool Keith's new record, "Black Elvis/Lost in Space," is due in stores on July 13, and the first single will be for the track "The Girls Don't Like the Job." Keith says he is also preparing to regroup with the other members of the Ultramagnetic MCs.
