[h1]Rick Rubin joins the Clipse in the studio[/h1]

Legendary producer Rick Rubin has been working on tracks for the Clipse's long-awaited third album this month, the rap duo's camp tells EW. Rubin, who signed the Clipse to Columbia Records shortly after taking over as the label's cochairman in 2007, has completed one tune with them so far in a Malibu studio; they plan to work with him on one to two more in the coming weeks. Though Rubin began his career in the '80s working with acts like Run-D.M.C., LL Cool J, and the Beastie Boys, he's more recently focused on producing rock and pop bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer -- along with occasional high-profile forays into hip-hop like Jay-Z's "99 Problems" in 2003. Needless to say, the thought of the bearded studio wizard crafting tracks for critical darlings the Clipse is enough to make many rap fans salivate.

The Clipse is currently aiming for a late-summer release for Til the Casket Drops, which will feature contributions from a wide range of beatsmiths. First single "Kinda Like a Big Deal," produced by DJ Khalil and featuring Kanye West, is set to drop March 9.

QFT. Album should be dropped around May, not around August.

[h1]The Clipse and Kanye West first listen: 'Kinda Like a Big Deal'[/h1]

For fans of the Clipse, the Virginia rap duo's upcoming third album, Till the Casket Drops, is a big deal, indeed. So it was with great pleasure that I ventured out tonight to hear the album's first teaser single, the appropriately titled "Kinda Like a Big Deal," which features a guest spot from Kanye West and should be released for public consumption on March 9. Super-instant react: It's dope. The song finds the Thornton brothers in a far more upbeat mood than 2006's supremely bitter Hell Hath No Fury -- it just might be their first bona fide party track in years.

That vibe starts with the beat, a burner courtesy of DJ Khalil that opens with a blazing electric guitar lick before falling into a wicked sampled organ, guitar, and drum groove. Pusha T leads off with some vintage braggadocio: "The third time's the charm/After two classics, another stripe upon my arm." Pusha also finds time to crow about "how it feel to blow a hundred thou in a recession/With no second-guessing." Recession rap this ain't. Next up is Kanye, who delivers a swaggering verse that will remind listeners of how great he is when he actually raps. If Kanye's lyrics comparing himself to "the black Marshall, mixed with Jay" are any hint, maybe he's planning to get back to rapping full-time soon, lord willing. (Trivia note: I'm pretty sure I recognized a couple of Kanye's punchlines, like the one mentioning "alligator souffle," from a verse Yeezy spit on an early version of T.I.'s "On Top of the World" that I heard last year.) Pusha's brother Malice follows with a sick verse of his own. Clever lyrics (of course), a tight beat, and a Kanye cameo: All in all, this single should make for a strong reintroduction for the Clipse.

"Kinda Like a Big Deal" is one of a handful of DJ Khalil-produced tracks that are being considered for Till the Casket Drops, which is tentatively expected to see a late-summer release. I also got an early listen to a few works in progress that might make it on to the album, including several sparkling beats that emerged from recent studio sessions in Miami with the Clipse's longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes. (Nothing is for certain yet, but the Clipse's camp says Neptunes productions will likely account for about half of the final album when all's said and done.) Pending further information, this is looking like it could end up being 2009's rap album to beat. Anyone else looking forward to hearing the final product?

Original single had Pharrell on the hook. I think they changed it and took him off though. But Kanye has a verse.
