Lauryn Hill's renewed writing efforts aren't limited to her upcoming album. The singer/songwriter contributed the lyrics for "All My Time" to fellow New Jersey denizens Kool & the Gang for the '80s R&B hitmakers' new release, Gangland, due August 21.

In addition to founding members Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell (now known as Muhammad Bayyan and Khalis Bayyan, respectively), the album will feature appearances by younger acts signed to the group's KTFA Entertainment label. Bayyan's son Da Prince Hakim is featured on the first single, "Bigg Thangs," while Khalis' son Rachid handles the vocals on "Jungle in My House."

The group is also working on the DVD Kool & the Gang Live for September 11 release as well as a Bill Duke-produced film based on the group's Jersey City roots.
