Megaupload Co-Founder Prepping Debut Album With BLACK EYED PEAS Producers

Despite recently being charged with racketeering and copyright infringement by the United States Department of Justice and arrested in his native New Zealand, internet businessman Kim Dotcom is working on the development and future release of his debut music album.

Despite facing many years in prison and the complete dissolving of a multi-million dollar online file sharing company he helped to co-found, Dotcom is ready to venture into the music industry as a performer. "It is a phenomenal project," said Joseph 'Papo' Besson, Beets & Produce's VP of operations.

"Printz Board is producing this project with Kim. I am coordinating the logistics of the release, as well as consulting on the artwork. Printz Board is executing the vision that Kim has for this project to the letter Kim is also pushing the limits with this project. He has some huge surprises for everyone. The mix of a musical genius in Printz and an actual genius in Kim Dotcom will be history in the making, I'm sure of it."

Dotcom is working with the same production team behind the 'Megaupload Mega Song', which was used to endorse the now-defunct file-sharing service. The team is comprised of producers who have worked with artists ranging from the Black Eyed Peas, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton and Mariah Carey. There is no confirmed release date at this time for Dotcom's album.
