Early next year, New York club-pop duo The Knocks will deliver their debut LP, titled 55, for which they have called on an approximate army's worth of collaborators for backup. Revealed today in a trailer that is premiering on The FADER (above), the roster of guests slated to be featured includes platinum-certified song writers, rock bands that fill arenas on the regular, Carly Rae Jepsen, and OG rap stars—like Cam'ron, who is featured on "New York City," which soundtracks said album trailer.
“Starting our album off with this track is important to us because Cam being the New York legend that he is, is a perfect representation of the trajectory of our career, beginning as purely hip hop producers and moving into dance music," said The Knocks' J. Patt of the glitzy lead single in an email to The FADER. "We feel that his verse on our record stands up to some of his best work and we are very proud to showcase this collaboration as one of our most prized achievements.”
In addition to the Dipset don, The Knocks' 55 will also feature's contributions from Carly Rae Jepsen, POWERS, Matthew Koma, Wyclef Jean, X Ambassadors, Alex Newell, Justin Tranter, Magic Man, Phoebe Ryan, and Walk The Moon; it's expected to arrive early January via Big Beat/Neon Gold.
