(PR) In a project already being hailed as the most anticipated rock-rap collaboration since Jay Z teamed up with Linkin Park, Grammy Award winning group Maroon 5 has entered the studio with Oakland emcee Casual to record an album to be released early this summer.The seed for this most unlikely of collaborations came about last summer when Casual and the members of Maroon 5 met while playing at the Bonnaroo Festival. "We hit it off right away, and the next day, on a lark, I sat in with them during their sound check. I knew all of their hits because I had been listening to them on my tour bus, so I freestyled over a few of their tracks and it sounded amazing," explains Casual. After the initial jam session, they kept in touch and started sending tracks back and forth to each other via email. Both parties were extremely happy with the songs that came out of these exchanges, and agreed that they should put out a "summertime party album," according to Casual.
