Goodie M.O.B. is getting ready to unveil its third album, "World Party," but at least one artist won't be RSVP-ing.

"World Party" had a guest list that was set to include TLC, producer Dallas Austin, Organized Noize, and Outkast, as well as rocker Lenny Kravitz (see "Goodie M.O.B. 'Parties' With TLC, Kravitz; Hits Road With Outkast").

However, while the other guests will be "attending," it turns out that Kravitz, who's been touring nonstop over the past few months, won't be making the party. Goodie M.O.B.'s Big Gipp told the MTV Radio Network that time constraints squelched chances for a collaboration this time around; however, the two acts are determined to work together in the future.

"With [Kravitz] being on tour, he still on tour, he still got another month," Big Gipp explained.

Other folks who were able to appear on "World Party" include Deric "D-Dot" Angellettie, from Puff Daddy's Hitmen production team, and Easy Mo Bee, who had produced tracks for the Notorious B.I.G., among others.

"World Party" is due in stores on October 26. Meanwhile, "They Don't Dance No Mo'," a track from the group's last album, "Still Standing," has been included on the just-released "Get Crunk" compilation. "Get Crunk" also features cuts by Mystikal, Eightball & MJG, and many others (see "Master P, JT Money, Goodie M.O.B 'Get Crunk'").
