(NEW YORK) - Trip-hop producer Tricky has teamed up with '60s gangster 'Mad' Frankie Fraser to record a spoken-word album featuring some of Britain's infamous criminals.|

Tentatively titled Product Of The Environment, the work features "interviews that Tricky's gotten with a bunch of London gangsters," says Dennis Dennehy, spokesman for the artist's Durban Poison label. "It's like 'Scared Straight,' but backed by Tricky's music."

Train robber Tommy Wisbey, "disposal expert" Tony Lambrianou and onetime Kray Brothers driver Jack Adams will be among the participants, according to British weekly NME.

No release date has been set for the album, which will street on either Durban Poison or Island Records. However, proceeds from the project will be used to set up a network of boys' clubs across the UK.
