The Michael Jackson Fan Club

(26-7-2010) Superstar producer, Rodney "Dark Child" Jerkins, who worked with the King of Pop on his last studio album 'Invincible,' reveals that he will be releasing a new Michael Jackson album containing un-released traks.

In a recent interview with VladTV.com, Jerkins said that he has a lot of unreleased tracks and he plans to release them as a tribute to Jackson. The tracks are presumably songs that were cut from the 'Invincible' CD. Jerkins indicated that he has not recieved official clearance yet but that the project will be coming soon saying,

“You know there is a lot of red tape, but it's definitely going to happen.”

In the interview Jerkins talked about what it was like to work with Jackson and said that the King of Pop actually had a huge role in teaching him about music publishing, saying,

“It was a blessing and a dream of mine since I was a kid. Ever since I was 11-years old, I knew I wanted to be a producer and I knew I wanted to work with him.”

“[Michael] played a big part in me learning how to publish my music,” Jerkins continued. “I knew a little about publishing when I came into the game at 16, but when I started working with Michael I was 20 and he taught me about buying publishing and acquiring a catalogue at a young age. So I started buying other people's catalogues and I am still buying people's catalogues and it was because Michael taught me the system.”

Jerkins also said that Jackson was a lot more down to earth than most people thought.

“Michael was quiet with people he didn't know,” Jerkins said. “But Michael and I used to kick it in Miami and we kicked it in New York all the time. When “Rock My World” came out, he actually let me test the single at the Ruckers in New York before the single was released; that's how cool he was.”

It is unclear whether Jerkins' MJ material will be part of the new album of unreleased MJ songs rumored to be in the works for November, 2010.
