The Black Eyed Peas recently inked a worldwide co-publishing deal with Cherry Lane Publishing, after a bidding war between several publishing companies over the rights to their latest album, Elephunk.

"This year, we've been aggressively diversifying our client roster and signing the Black Eyed Peas fits perfectly into our business model," says Cherry Lane President, Aida Gurwicz, "We're looking forward to exploiting the many opportunities for the band's increased exposure that this record promises."

Each group member is planning solo albums as well. Group member Taboo recently revealed that he will be working on a Spanish language project in the near future.
