As it was revealed long ago, John is on the fifth song, Way Down, together with RZA and Barbie Hatch.
[MEDIA=28]Just a reminder on how long this has been planned: Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales). The duo has been working on the album for five years ever since conceiving it at a party in Brazil. And, they are planning to tour in the near future with dancers, visual effects, art installations and special guests. It is not clear when and where this would take place.
And, for everyone who has not seen it before, here is the megamix. If you’re watching it carefully, you’ll notice someone familiar in two scenes.
