The first project under the new partnership is the rapper's own sixth studio album, "Category F5," which is scheduled for a June 16 release. The single "Wetter" was made available for digital download on iTunes this week.
Producers like Jim Jonsin, The Tastemakers, Street Runner, Good Will, MGI, Toxi and Traxster worked on "F5," while Kanye West, Akoon, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Static Major and Bobby Valentino, among others, make guest appearances.
Twista's last album, "Adrenaline Rush 2007," has sold 123,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
