Naughty By Nature Recording New Album

Naughty By Nature have reunited for a new album due out in the first quarter of 2009.

According to Billboard.com, the new album is tentatively titled "Anthem Inc" and the group plans to release it independently.

"We've been talking about reuniting for about two years," Kay Gee tells Billboard.com. "Then about three months ago, we decided to go ahead."

Kay Gee goes on to say that fans can expect party music such as classic Naughty anthems like "O.P.P." and "Hip-Hop Hooray" but that the group has grown as well.

"We're going to make universal party tracks with great hooks; street anthems, social and political anthems, anthems for the ladies. Nothing has changed from that standpoint. But we're not 19-20 anymore, so things will be a little different lyrically. We don't want to make a record that sounds like we're just trying to chase 15-year-olds. We do want to appeal to them but at the same time, we want the music to be natural and comfortable for us."

Group member Treach feels like the trio's chemistry is still there.

"It's like getting into a time machine going from the past to the future," Treach says. "Vinnie and I have been touring. And both Kay Gee and I have been working on outside projects. So we didn't miss a beat when all three of us got back in the studio."
