In the mood for your next fix of the Lonely Island? ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ comedy trifecta of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone are back. And this time, they’ve got an even greater posse of pop stars entering their realm. On Thursday, the irreverent rhyme slingers announced the full list of artists who collaborated with them on their sophomore album, “Turtleneck & Chain,” which is due out May 10.

The album is a highly anticipated follow-up to the group’s 2009 platinum debut, “Incredibad.” While the first album saw the group spitting verses with T-Pain , E-40 and Norah Jones, the new album takes the Lonely Island to very surprising and strange territory. The “Turtleneck” roster includes Michael Bolton, Snoop Dogg, Beck and Santigold, along with Justin Timberlake, Akon, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and ‘SNL’s’ Kenan Thompson.
