LINKIN PARK Joins BUSTA RHYMES On Video Shoot

April 15, 2008

Not only is multi-platinum two-time Grammy-winning rock band LINKIN PARK featured on the first single from acclaimed hip-hop innovator BUSTA RHYMES' new album, but the band 's co-lead vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda will also appear in the song's performance video. "We Made It", directed by Chris Robinson, will be shot in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 15.

The intriguing culture-mashing collaboration reflects the theme of "We Made It". Says Rhymes of the song: "It ain't just about the 'hood, it ain't just about the suburbs, it's about everybody. This is one of those songs that can't be described better than touching the souls of the common people."

"We Made It", produced by Cool and Dre, with additional production by Mike Shinoda, and its video will be released in May, prior to the debut of RHYMES' eighth studio album, "Blessed" (Flipmode/Aftermath/Interscope),on June 17.

While "We Made It" marks RHYMES' first teaming with a rock band, LINKIN PARK previously crossed genres when the group partnered with Jay-Z in 2004 for the platinum mash-up "Collision Course", a #1 pop album that featured the digital gold, Grammy-winning track "Numb/Encore".
