Legendary Hip Hop group Public Enemy co-founder and star of VH1's top-rated ‘Flavor of Love’ will release ‘Flavor Flav’ October 31st.

Hip Hop’s one of a kind and favorite rap artist Flavor Flav will release his self-titled first-ever solo album which should make for an even scarier Halloween than usual. The album will be on the hip hop luminaries’ own Draytown Records, distributed by leading indie North Carolina's Redeye Distribution.

"I got some things off my chest, but not all," explains Flav about the long-awaited disc, which launches with the patented rock-rap of the first single, ‘Flavor Man.’

Flav says "I doubt I will ever do another one, though. What I''m gonna do is make this one a collector's item. My first and only solo album, ever."

If that's the case, Flavor Flav makes a case for the rapper as one of history's most underrated. The Roosevelt, L.I.-born hip-hop icon, aka William Jonathan Drayton Jr., plays virtually all the instruments, co-writes some of the music and lyrics as well as co-produces with collaborators like Smooth B. and Collition. After several failed solo attempts, this is the one true hip hop Flavor Flav fans have been waiting for more than a decade.

"The only thing I''m sorry about is it didn''t come sooner," says Flav. "I think it's time I give it to ''em for real."

Flav even works out on some surprising R&B material, including the opening "Let It Show" and "Two Wrongz (Don''t Make a Right)," one he's particularly proud of.

Watch for the album ‘Flavor Flav’ October 31st.
