Havoc, Ras Kass and RJ Payne have joined forces to form the super-group GUTTR, and both Method Man and Fame of M.O.P join the trio on their debut single, “Roll Call.”
Havoc handles all of the production on the group’s debut album, Everything Is.., which drops on Friday (March 29). Leading the project is the aforementioned “Roll Call,” which also features narration from Sway Calloway.

“Havoc being on board to set the musical canvas on an entire album for brothers to paint these bars has been the opportunity of a lifetime,” Ras Kass said in a press release.
In addition to Meth and Fame, the eight-song Everything Is.. also includes appearances from Twista, Raekwon, Kid Capri, Kurupt and Freeway. Get into the “Roll Call” video as the guys head to ‘Hip Hop High’ below.
Havoc has been quite busy as of late. In addition to the GUTTR project, he revealed a few months back that a new Mobb Deep album with posthumous vocals from the late Prodigy is currently in the works, and that he’s also recording a project with Method Man.
“I’m actively working on a Mobb Deep album now, as we speak. The family blessed me with a bunch of vocals [by Prodigy] and soon as I leave here, I’m goin’ back to work,” he said in an interview on People’s Party last summer.

He added: “I’m always working constantly working. I got a joint with Method Man coming out soon. It’s an album, yeah. I produced the whole album.”
He didn’t give any further details on either project, however.
In mid-August, the 49-year-old rapper opened up about his favorite Mobb Deep album and went into detail about his choice. In an interview on SiriusXM’s Shade 45, the Queensbridge native revealed that 1995’s The Infamous was his favorite project to create alongside Prodigy.
“The Infamous, because it catapulted us,” Havoc said. “A lot of the supporters be like, ‘Yo, Infamous is dope but Hell on Earth is crazy.’ But, for me, the reason why I say The Infamous [over Hell on Earth is] because without The Infamous album bringing us back from an album that didn’t really do good [Juvenile Hell], we probably wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you.

He added: “That set the stage for me and Prodigy.”
