Fall Out Boy Drop Mixtape, Prep New Album

BY Josiah HughesPublished Aug 26, 2008

Keeping with their hip-hop love affair, which has previously included collaborations with Jay-Z, Kanye West and producers Timbaland and Babyface, Chicago mall-punk heartthrobs Fall Out Boy are promoting their upcoming Folie A Deux record with a recently dropped mixtape.

Titled Welcome to the New Administration, the mix features demos from the upcoming album alongside contributions from friends and label-mates like Gym Class Heroes and Cobra Starship, who contribute the Katy Perry nod "I Kissed A Boy.” The mix is also narrated by Ludacris.

Folie A Deux is due on November 4, the same day as the U.S. presidential election. Let’s hope the emo kids stop off at a ballot box before heading to their local Best Buy!
