so a few days ago i put a status update on facebook, myspace and twitter:
" so i'm thinking about the feat guest list for my next full length album... anyone want to put their 2 cents in ? ;) "
in my mind, the guest list is pretty much locked already, both definites and my wish list, but it's interesting to open it up to you all out there - just never know when a certain idea might come from someone. some of the answers are just plain funny - respect to the first guy who came with "chas and dave". LOL. some of the suggestions are people with whom collabs are already in place or who might not be appropriate for a spot on the new LP but with whom some other one off of full concept collabs could happen.... and there's a few new names to me that have been interesting to check out (peep uk artist shax on myspace - fresh vibe)
so... this is what people have said so far... unedited. feel free to add your own suggestions :)

Conner Reeves. Stacy Epps would be hot. Kim Hill (former Black Eyed Peas) would be fire! Tawiah, Lady Alma, Bembe, Vula, Mpho, Marcina Arnold, Kelis, Omar, Bootsy Collins, Bobby Valentino and the singer from La Roux are exciting prospects too, Ivana Santilli, Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins, Rahel, and Angie Stone.

What about Sabrina Malheiros? That might give an interesting match musical wise..
Not to forget Amalia or world famous scratch dj solemn might contribute some cuts...jk

Rahsaan Patterson, Sy Smith, Kissey Asplund, Ra-Re Valverde, Peter Hadar, Ashley Thomas, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Muhsinah, another joint with Vikter Duplaix would be great, Erik Rico, Nicky (from HEAVy)...actually just HEAVy... Casey on vocoder and sax!... Eric Roberson, Deborah Jordan, Stacey Epps, Stokley of Mint Condition (and have him lay down the drums too!), Reggie B, Darien, Q-Tip!... endless list! That is my 2 pennies worth

Colin Monroe would be a HEAVY collaboration. Has some depth to his music - fusion on another level.
Clara Hill, Vikter Duplaix, Stones Thr....... man.
Need tissue. Just started to foam at the mouth.
Well the ladies are ruling things at the moment so i would say Bembe, Tawiah, Vula, Vanessa Freeman, Michelle Escoffrey (UK ladies need some attention!!)
Someone mentioned N'Dambi ... I would kill to hera that!
For the gents it's gotta be Peter Hadar, Darien, Omar, Tony Momrelle or Elviin.
