T-Pain Lends His Voice To Adult Swim's 'Freaknik: The Musical'

Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg will also take part in the Cartoon Network special.

With his penchant for top hats, we suppose this was inevitable: T-Pain is getting his own animated special.

On March 7, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim will premiere "Freaknik: The Musical," an hour-long extravaganza detailing a group of kids' quest to "successfully resurrect the spirit of Freaknik ... the biggest spring-break party known to man."

According to a Cartoon Network press release, T-Pain — who is also listed as an executive producer on the show — will voice "a party ghost" (no word on whether he'll use Auto-Tune). Other musicians lending their voices to "Freaknik" include Lil Wayne, Big Boi, Rick Ross, Kelis, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Comedians Andy Samberg and Bill Hader also appear.

"Back in the '90s, Freaknik was Atlanta's version of the ultimate block party. It was Mardi Gras-meets-spring break, at your crazy cousin's bachelor party, and anything could happen," T-Pain said in a statement. "A decade later, I'm bringing it back for people like me, who didn't get to experience it the first time around. We've recreated Freaknik's vibe and energy with amazing animation, new music and an all-star cast of characters."

Pain isn't the first hip-hop star to team up with Cartoon Network. In 2006, Outkast's Andre 3000 produced "Class of 3000," an animated series set in Atlanta's Westley School of Performing Arts. And Danger Mouse and MF Doom released an album and EP — 2005's The Mouse and the Mask and '06's Occult Hymn — that featured beats taken from Adult Swim programming (and more than a few cameos by Adult Swim stars).

"Freaknik: The Musical" premieres March 7 at 11:30 p.m. on Cartoon Network.
