Rahzel New Album “Greatest Knockouts Vol. 2″ Coming Soon!

Four years removed from his last studio effort, 2004’s “Rahzel’s Greatest Knockouts,” Rahzel is finally completing its follow-up. Due out this summer on Ipecac Records, “Greatest Knockouts The Album, Vol. 2″ marks the third solo release for the former Roots member. Currently Rahzel is finishing up recording by road testing new material with a few live dates, including Jan. 27 in Colorado Springs, Colo. Among the tracks slated to be on the new album are “Ring the Alarm” and “Come Fly With Me.” The latter track finds singer Mike Patton, who also owns Ipecac, making a guest appearance. This is payback for Rahzel appearing on Patton’s debut Peeping Tom record two years ago. Aside from his music, Rahzel remains busy with other endeavours. He’s dabbled in acting (he has a role in the upcoming feature “Doorman”) created a lucrative career doing voiceover work in movie trailers, commercials and video games and he’s currently working on beat-boxing documentary, “Art of Noise,” due out this summer.
