Method Man Reveals New Music with Redman From ‘The Meth Lab II: The Lithium’ AlbumKILIEN ST. JACQUES
6 NOV 2018Details For Method Man’s The Meth Lab II: The Lithium out December 11th
It would seem as if Method Man wouldn’t need to do music with his film and TV career going well. He is a regular on the HBO series ‘The Deuce’, he is a host of the TBS musical reality show ‘Drop The Mic’, and he was recently cast to be in the upcoming television program ‘Son of Shaft’. With all of those things going for him, Method is still expected to drop a new music project this month. The album titled The Meth Lab II: The Lithium is dropping December 11, 2018. This is a follow up to his 2015 release The Meth Lab. The forthcoming album also comes around the time of the anniversary of Method Man’s debut solo project TICAL, which was released back on November 15, 1994.
With the help of friend and collaborator Anthony ‘Hanz On’ Messado, Meth is making The Meth Lab II a platform to showcase the Staten Island Hip-Hop community. Recording for this 22 track long album took place on Staten Island at Meth Lab Studios. The songs of the album having an episode number to give it the feel of a TV show. “Either a bad one, or a good one, or a polarizing one,” Method Man explained to Billboard.
The leading single, Grand Prix, has already been out for months now. Helping build anticipation for this new LP. Grand Prix shows Method Man’s renewed sense of spirit in the sport of rap. This track is one of two solo tracks we are getting from the Staten Island emcee. The Meth Lab (2015) only had one solo track, “2 Minutes of Your Time”. So take into consideration all lives featured on this forthcoming album.
The Meth Lab II: The Lithium will be released via Hanz On Music Entertainment (H.O.M.E.) and ONErpm. Features you can expect on the album are Raekwon, Snoop Dogg, and Redman, Sheek Louch, Cappadonna and Masta Killah, as well as, the aforementioned up-and-coming rappers from the Staten Island Hip-Hop scene.

Early Album Review: Method Man | Meth Lab II: Lithium
by Jenny S.4 hours ago
Method Man emerges from the lab with the second installment in the Meth Lab series.
Upon first listen of Meth Lab II, you come to the realization that closing out the year wouldn’t have been the same without being graced by one of our refined dignitaries of hip-hop. Initially, the most unforeseen observation about the sixth studio release by Method Man is that the album finally and tangibly materialized three years after part one saw the light of day and four months after he offered our first taste with Grand Prix and Wild Cats.
That thought alone has me curious just how many moons ago talks of creating the album transpired. Suffice to say, we have seen one of the best and most waterlogged years in hip-hop and sometimes we need a barrage of choices so we can separate the wheat from the chaff, mediocrity from prodigiousness and it is in that moment when we become acutely aware of exactly what and who has been missing.

Even at the seasoned age of 49, Meth was never a man hell bent on proving to other souls, the industry, or to himself of the talents bequeathed to him at birth. Though he may boast on his latest release with words like, “My flow ever lasting / My lines never lacking / Even on Christmas Eve, I out rhyme whoever rappin.”
Even then, it could never be considered bragging. It’s simply a lyricist reminding us of a truth that could never be denied no matter which teenager bops onto the scene. Meth Lab II offers habitual signs of more classic punchlines to add to his collection.
While there may be plenty of sneering and satirical ‘commercial breaks’ peppered throughout the twelve episodes reminiscent of intermissions gone by, there is zero blatant egoism. His manipulation of words flows off the tongue like water as he reclaims his rung at the top of the ladder. “I’m pushing fifty / Can’t find your woman / She pushin’ with me.”

While his departure from music may have appeared at first glance to be him going through the motions of rap retirement without an encore for the loyalists, the outsiders’ perception fails and the clock keeps ticking. His verses are meticulously consumed with the semantics of rhyming words. Who other than Method Man could weld, “I’m butter slippery / They think I’m shifty.” Of course, there is a good portion of Lithium when we aren’t in awe of the minutia of rhymes and fall into the well-chosen rhythm of the production.
While Meth provides the meat and potatoes, the guests create the necessary garnishes on the plate that instinctively work together verse for verse. Proof that creativity is a by-product of chemistry and you can’t make a good collaboration without it.
Everyone from Hanz On, Cappadonna, Joe Young, Redman, Raekwon, Noreaga, to Snoop Dogg, Sheek L, and Masta Killa showed up punched in and ready to work, filling the collaborative effort with density that doesn’t seem to lean on a personal agenda or propaganda so much as pure precision in the lab.
What does this all mean for those of us who wonder what comes next after an emcee has nothing left to prove but a desire to express that which lives in the soul of every artist that must be delivered through their art?
It means that Method Man still has an ear for beats that don’t suffer at the mercy of genius lyrical content, he maintains the ability to push the right buttons and monopolize the attention of the consumer and by simple virtue of that fact, we’re going to greedily need another album and soon. Please. Pretty please.

I’ve neve like a meth album....even tical...lived the singles from it....just not the full body of work.....wonder if this album will finally satisfy the drought
These Meth Lab projects aren't really true Meth solos. They're really just a spotlight for his Staten Island homies that he's been putting together with Hanz-On.
Extra random nikkas on there besides Streetlife, and I assume Carlton Fisk is locked againThat shyt bet not be wack
No deal then....can barely fukk wit his albums let alone his lil minions.....no deal
