Method Man recently revealed that he has begun working on his fifth solo album titled Crystal Method.

Rumors have been swirling around that the Wu-Tang  member had been dropped from his long time recording home, Def Jam Records, but Meth confirmed to MTV News that the he is still on the legendary label which will be releasing Crystal Method.

“I'm not putting any [release] date on it, Meth said referring to Crystal Method.  “I'm four songs deep, but I just started.  That's good for me.”

Meth has been occupied with various movie projects in the past few months which include  Meet The Spartans and The Wackness , a comedy/drama where he plays a Rastafarian drug dealer who supplies marijuana to a troubled teen.

"I really transformed," Meth said of his role in The Wackness.  "I hired my own coach.  The dialogue they had was so Hollywood Jamaican, it was ridiculous.  The person I worked with went in and wrote it over."

Meth will also be returning as Melvin "Cheese" Wagstaff on the final and fifth season of HBO's The Wire which premiere's this weekend.

“The show gets real deep this season, it’s not to be missed,” Meth emphasized.  “Cheese, he's that n---a.  Cheese is making his move in season five.  He's a survivor.”
