If you're still stuck on Ghostface Killah's last album, like me, then you will be shocked to know that Ghostface is already hitting us in the head with his second solo album on Def Jam, entitled More Fish. More Fish drops on December 12th and is said to be just as good as Fishscale or better. That seems like it would be pretty difficult to accomplish, considering his last album garnered him both critical and commercial success internationally. But, all of the fans know that this is probably true. There's no question that most of his albums have either matched or eclipsed the previous album's success and quality.

Ghostface is one of the only artists to date that has been able to maintain an interesting niche, where you can have a song on the radio and still be able maintain one of the strongest underground fanbases in hip-hop history. He is able to keep an unusual balance, pleasing the most die hard of hip-hop fans and the ladies dancing in the club at the same time. This is almost unprecedented, yet Ghost seems to do it with ease, consistently putting out hit solo records and contributing to efforts with the Wu-Tang for more than a decade. HHNLive.COM caught up with Ghostface Killah to discuss the new album, More Fish, as well as the state of the Wu-Tang Clan and Ghostface's own crew, Theodore Unit.

AF: You've already got your second album on Def Jam coming out next month. Could you tell us a little bit about More Fish and what the feel of this album is going to be?

GK: Yeah, it's coming out December 12th. This is really just a whole different vibe than Fishscale, but it's still Ghostface music. If you know my music and you're familiar with what I do, then you probably already know. The thing about this album is there are a few joints that I didn't get to put on Fishscale. They got taken off, but I took some of those and then went back and recorded some more songs for More Fish.

AF: Is "Good" with Trife Da God going to be the single or have you picked one out yet?

GK: Yeah, that's definitely going to be one of them. There's another one out right now called "Ghost Is Back." "Good" is one of the singles off of the album though.

AF: You had a big success with the video for "Back Like That" featuring Ne-Yo. Are you all going to go that route again and try to make a video for More Fish?

GK: Yeah, we might make a video for "Good." That's just to try and get ahead of everyone else and appeal to a wider audience though. You have to act like you coming out with a Grammy song, but it really depends on how the people grab it. It's a lot easier to sell records, if you're out like that where the people can see you.

AF: I remember before Fishscale, you put out a mixtape with Mick Boogie called Broiled Salmon. You got any plans to put out a mixtape to promote this album?

GK: Nah, we're just going straight in on this one. We didn't really have time do anything like that.

AF: You've been working with a great combination of a lot of different producers recently. Who did you get to come in and work with you on this one?

GK: I'm with a lot of the same producers. We've got Madlib, MF Doom, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Phantom of the Beat. Kool-Aid & Peanut did the beat for "Good"

AF: Who are some of the lesser known or underground producers that you've been working with?

GK: My man Phantom of the Beat is really doin his thing right now. He did a couple songs on my album. He also did the beat for "P.I.M.P." and that old Busta Rhymes' song, "Woo-Ha."

AF: You've done a lot of work with people like MF Doom and one of Dilla's last beats was actually on Fishscale. Do you kind of feel like the underground artists are the ones keeping that real hip-hop alive right now?

GK: The underground is doing real well right now. They definitely still doing they thing. It's just a vibe that they have. It's a different vibe that people respond to. That's why I always like to go and work with those people to try and get that in to my music.

AF: So what's up with the features on this album? Are we going to hear some more from Theodore on this one or more Wu-Tang?

GK: You're going to hear a lot more Theodore Unit on this one. Redman and Sheek Louch are also on the album. I also got Killa Sin on there, who used to rhyme with the Killarmy.

AF: You've still got your Theodore Unit going on. What is the next project in the works for Theodore?

GK: Everything is moving in place. We're just taking it slow and making sure that everything works out right.

AF: What's the status on Trife Da God? Is he still working on an album?

GK: I think Trife should definitely have a good look through this album. He's on a few songs. I've also got my son on the album, SG. He was on "Family Affair" on Fishscale.

AF: You've done a lot of work with Raekwon over the years. Is he going to be on More Fish?

GK: Nah, he didn't make it on the album, because this was just so fast. When we started the Wu-Tang tour, I put it together real quick. I didn't really have the time to take brothers out of they schedule to record. And Raekwon isn't really in town a lot. He's always out or on the road. So it wasn't like that this time.

AF: He's also got Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II coming out. You going to be up on his album as well?

GK: Yeah, I'm definitely going to be on a few joints on there.

AF: Congratulations on the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. I saw Wu-Tang up there doing their thing. They tried to cut you all, but y'all weren't having it.

GK: Yeah, I wasn't in town. I was in Europe, but they always try to do that shit to us.

AF: If you could've played any of your solo joints up there, which one would you have performed?

GK: "All I Got Is You"

AF: You all have been doing a lot of appearances and concerts together, but everybody still wants to know if you all are planning to get back in the studio together for another Wu album?

GK: Yeah. We still gonna do that. We still here rocking. We just gotta get a clear understanding amongst the whole group. They recorded a couple of songs already, while I was out in Japan.

AF: I read somewhere that you were going out on tour with Jeezy, Jay-Z, and Nas. Is there any truth to that? Are you going to tour at all for this album?

GK: Yeah, I heard about that. It sounds like a good look, so you'll probably see us go out and do something like that around the beginning of the year.
