Method Man Drops Animated Trailer For His Upcoming CD The Meth Lab

Judging by the Tommy Boy logo on the outro of this “Breaking Bad“-inspired trailer, it looks like Method Man will be taking things back to the origin of Wu – Tommy Boy Records, the label where Rza released his 1991 debut solo single, “Ooh, I Love You, Rakeem” (which featured a B-side mix subtitled “The Wu-Tang Mix,” the crew name’s first appearance on wax).

It’s already been reported that “The Meth Lab” will feature “Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck and more.”

Listen to the self-titled lead single (featuring Hanz On and Streetlife) from “The Meth Lab” here.
