US rapper 50 Cent claimed that he was happy to take part in the recording of the album Michael, which features remastered versions of earlier unreleased songs by Michael Jackson. He claimed that he has considered an opportunity to "keep Michael's legacy alive" as a great honor.
"When they asked me, I said "I'm in" without any doubt. I am proud I put my touches on this record. We worked to keep Michael's legacy alive, and it is a great honor for everyone in music industry", claimed 50 Cent.
Earlier this week Nirvana's member and Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl revealed that he has taken part in the work on Michael. He contributed drums for the track (I Can't Make It) Another Day, which features guitar by another rock star, Lenny Kravitz.
According to the reports, Michael also features 50 Cent, Akon and others. It was produced by Michael Jackson's brother Jackie and Rodney Jerkins, who is famous for his work with such artists as Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Janet Jackson, Beyonce and others. Jerkins also produced Michael Jackson's album Invincible that hit the stores in 2001.
All in all the record features 10 tracks on which Michael Jackson worked in different time – for example, song Much Too Soon was originally written for Thriller album.
