Black Thought was in the process of recording a solo album (to be titled Masterpiece Theater), but he shelved the project when he determined the project would not assist the group in their release from their contract with MCA Records. Some of the songs he recorded for Masterpiece Theater were eventually released as tracks on The Roots' album Phrenology. He is also working on a collaborative project with producer Danger Mouse (which, according to XXL magazine and himself, is to be called Dangerous Thoughts), and Thought recently revealed it to be a singing album--much in the same style of the Gnarls Barkley projects.
In a recent HipHopGame interview Black Thought spoke of yet another solo project (title TBA) that will come out on the label Razor and Tie. When asked whether or not ?uestlove would still be involved production-wise, he stated, "I get beats from all types of dudes. It’s just an understanding that once I’m married to a beat and I’m going to use it, certain elements are going to be replayed and changed. Questlove probably will change your bass and play the drums live. But if it’s a solid production, I’ll still use that beat. It’s not like I only work with Questlove. For all intents and purposes, we’re able to come together and decide who we’re going to work together. We do it like that." He also indicated that "Get Busy" producer Ritz and his production team would be contributing.
