Embattled pop star Michael Jackson is eyeing a collaboration with rapper 50 Cent.

The first fruit of a potential pairing would likely appear on a mix tape spearheaded by DJ Whoo Kid, a member of 50 Cent's crew, who told Billboard.com he is heading to Bahrain in two weeks to take possession of tracks Jackson has been working on in his home studio.

50 Cent's spokesperson said the rapper has made no commitment to appear on the mix tape — a DJ-produced compilation popular in the hip-hop world — or on Jackson's next studio album, which will be released on his new Two Seas label.

Sources say the first single from that as-yet-untitled project, "Now That I Found Love," will be released Nov. 21. The track is being produced by Jackson and longtime collaborator Bruce Swedien, who engineered the classic track "Thriller" and co-produced the album "Dangerous."

Two Seas Records is a joint venture between Jackson and Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa.
