Following up on a recent update, the duo of Prince Paul and Dan the Automator are getting set to release their second album under the name Handsome Boy Modeling School entitled White People. Now equipped with a higher budget courtesy of Elektra Records, expect a video soon for the lead single The World’s Gone Mad featuring Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Barrington Levy and Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand fame (try saying that three times over). Until then, you can peep the new single below. Scheduled release date is November 9th.
According to Rolling Stone, Rza made his own contributions to the album. Since I don’t see him anywhere in the track listings, it is possible he produced a track or two (hopefully). Prince Paul and Rza back again? That is music to my ears.
