Exclusive: Will.I.Am. & Hans Zimmer Teaming Up For ‘Madagascar 2’ Score

Black Eyed Peas leader producer and rapper Will. I.Am. is teaming up with noted composer Hans Zimmer for the upcoming score to Dreamworks’ animated film, “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” The rapper/singer is also writing several original songs for the soundtrack.

Zimmer is evidently a busy musician and very into collaborations having just teamed up with Wu-Tang Clan leader The RZA for the score to Vin Diesel’s upcoming sci-fi film, “Babylon A.D.,” and recently putting the finishing touches on the “The Dark Knight” soundtrack with composer James Newton Howard.

Will.I Am. is also a part of the film’s cast voicing the studly hippo and watering hole lothario Moto Moto who has his sights on the character Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith; main voice actors Ben Stiller, Sasha Baron Cohen, David Schwimmer and Chris Rock are also all returning for the sequel).

Once again directed by Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath, “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” is due in theaters November 7.
