Songwriting legend Burt Bacharach and Dr. Dre, arguable hip-hop's most prolific producer, are working together on an upcoming project which will reportedly feature a variety of music styles.

"Dr. Dre gave me these drum beats and told me to do what I like," Bacharach told told U.K.'s Sun newspaper. "These won't be like usual songs. These are like compositions, which is very interesting to me." he told The Sun.

Burt Bacharach has written songs for everyone from Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis to Neil Diamond and Dionne Warwick and has penned some of the most memorable pop songs in history, including "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head," "Walk On By," "A House Is Not A Home," and many others.

Rapper DMX recently revealed that his next album would be his last and final due to what he deems a fake recording industry plagued with payola.

"The soundtrack is the next joint that's coming out. I'm on there, it's some hot joints on there. It's more people but, I can't remember. My next album is not a game and that's also my last album."

While DMX said that he was retiring from rapping, he would continue in the music business as the head of his Bloodline Records imprint.

"A person can walk up to you and feel like they know you," DMX continued. "You pretty much bared your soul to them and for somebody to call it a game it's like you taking away from what it really is."

DMX said that he is finishing his next album and is writing almost four to five songs per day.
