The members of Limp Bizkit are all hard at work on their new album, and the group has chosen, once again, to call on one of hip-hop's finest to put together some of the beats.

A representative of LB's Flip/Interscope Records label confirms that the members of the band are now in a Los Angeles recording studio working on at least one track with Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz, who has crafted hits for the likes of DMX, Eve, and Jay-Z.Limp Bizkit previously scored a huge hit with the song "N2Gether Now," a track that featured the Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man and was constructed by sought-after hip-hop producer DJ Premier of Gang Starr.

The Interscope rep also told the MTV Radio Network that the band members have already completed eight of the basic tracks for the new LP.While studio work continues in Los Angeles, Limp frontman Fred Durst has returned to his old stomping grounds in Florida to work on lyrics for the album, which is tentatively titled "Limpdependence Day." The album is expected to hit stores on July 4th.
