"Expectations are higher — people are looking for us to step it up," Lighty said. "But putting this album together is not any more difficult than the last one. It's just a matter of putting everyone's schedules in place."

Besides new tracks from clients Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule, Missy Elliott, newcomer JoJo Pellegrino, Mobb Deep and LL Cool J, guest stars will include Trina, Fat Joe, the LOX's Jadakiss, Jermaine Dupree, Swizz Beatz and Method Man .

LL Cool J's song on the first Violator album was "Say What", also featured on the soundtrack for the movie "Deep Blue Sea." The most successful single on the album was "Vivrant Thing" by Q-Tip.
