Shyne begins first LP in over a decade

Shyne has reportedly teamed up with Scott Storch to begin work on his first album in over ten years.

The Miami producer has revealed that he and the 31-year-old rapper, who was convicted in 2001 on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession after shooting two people at a New York club in 1999, share a close friendship.

Speaking to All Hip Hop, Storch said: "Yeah, Shyne's my man. I've been talking to him and I was talking to him all through his prison sentence. He's always remained a loyal person to me.

"We became friends after he was already in [jail] and I found out he was a fan and he's just a hell of a cool guy. I'm looking forward to doing not just one record, but doing a chunk on his album... He's in full effect. He's got people sending him tracks. I have a feeling he's going to make a really huge album... He's got a lot to say."

Shyne opened up about his eight-year prison stint in late November.
