Abhishek Bachchan to discharge his hip-hop collection for the present year: Abhishek Bachchan's hip-hop album to be titled Side B (as a homage to those vinyl discs in the past which had two sides) composed by Vishal-Shekhar is finally moving into a gorgeous groove. Two years in the pipeline, the 6 tracks rendered by Abhishek for the album have been composed by Vishal-Shekhar.

With his two film-related hip-hop numbers doing well, Abhishek has now decided to complete the project in Los Angeles where Abhishek and Vishal-Shekhar will get the best sound-mixing engineers to work on his hip-hop sounds until they walk talk and sing.

Says a source, "Abhishek loves hip-hop. It's his favourite form of music. He loves to hear it and sing it. But he's not too confident about his voice. However, those who have heard him singing in the album by Vishal-Shekhar swear Abhishek has a winner on his hands."

Apparently the Big B, himself a Mr. Cool when it comes contemporary grooves, suggested that Abhishek and Vishal-Shekhar take the album to LA for the mixing and final version. The trio will head to the Mecca of modern grooves in the next couple of months.

The album Side B will be ready by the end of the year. Says Abhishek, "I love hip-hop. But I don't know how well I sing. Vishal-Shekhar and I have been working on an album. We've some plans for making it sound better. Let's see how it goes."
