NSYNC member  JC Chasez has teamed up with formerly incarcerated Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard for his upcoming single, because his record label is desperate to make his solo debut an "event."

The pop singer, who releases the track Some Girls (Dance With Women) to radio stations next month, enlisted the talents of the controversial hip-hop star after snubbing a series of high-profile names.

He says, "The record company said this is an event, you have to do something.

"I tried to think of someone unique. Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott are amazing rappers, but they've done a million collaborations.

"In my mind, Dirty is fresh. Fresh out of jail, yes. Nevertheless, no one's heard from him in a while and he's due to make some noise. And the verse he did is really cool."
