Method Man's '4:21...The Day After' Gets New Release Date

[16 Micz]

Method Man's long awaited album, 4:21...The Day After, will hit stores August 29.
The album features special guest appearances from Fat Joe, Styles P, Ginuwine and Redman with production by RZA, Eric Sermon, Scott Storch and Denaun Porter.

Unlike some previous efforts—where Meth admits his priorities were different—on this new album, he says he's focusing on lyrics. After his last album, Tical O: The Prequel, he went through an especially rough time in his life—both personally and professionally—which provided him with a bulk of material. "I had a lot on my mind at the time and the second thing was, I decided to really talk about something and I had a lot to draw from and when the pen hit the paper it was like damn, remember this? And by the time I was done it was like shit, let's go." The result is his most personal and introspective work yet.

Meth says his ability to let himself be so open is in line with the entire concept of the album, and its title. "The national weed smoking day is 4/20, so I named my album 4/21 the day after. Because after that day, you have this moment of clarity when you're not high and you see things clearly." The Grammy-winner sighs and continues, a serious, determined look on his face. "You feel like you're not in on the joke, and everyone's laughing at you. I felt like no one was taking me seriously. I got real angry and I just starting writing."
