Veteran TV personality Bill Cosby is releasing a hip-hop album - featuring some very special guests.

Drafting in the likes of Eric Clapton, LL Cool J and Alicia Keys - 'Bill Cosby Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency' will be released on November 24.

"I don't like referring to the music as clean," Cosby told Boombox. "What I like is what you're not going to do. You're not going to curse. You're not going to put women down. You're not going to put the glory of the gun somewhere. And you're not going to put a whole lot of violence up front like that's the thing that will cleanse you and make you feel better."

The album is currently streaming in full from BillCosby.com.

This isn't the first hip-hop album Cosby has made - with 'Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency' being released last year.
