Grandmaster Flash to release new album

Grandmaster Flash has collaborated with a number of guest artists for his first album of new work in two decades.

The DJ and producer has teamed up with stars such as Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg and Big Daddy Kane for the 19-track LP, according to NME.

A release date for The Bridge: Concept Of A Culture has been set for February 23, marking a break of more than 20 years since the 1988 album of new work On The Strength.

Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five was one of five acts to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame in 2007, with the rapper named a Hip-Hop Icon a year earlier for his contribution to the genre.
