When Step Brothers director Adam McKay tweeted earlier this week that Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly would reprise their characters on a forthcoming rap album, it was reasonable to assume that it was some kind of weird joke. But as it turns out, it's a weird joke that's actually happening.

McKay has since confirmed the project, tweeting, "I wasn't kidding about Step Brothers rap album. And we just found out we have a crazy big time producer." No further details have surfaced.

In Step Brothers, a deeply strange and generally underrated comedy from 2008, Ferrell and Reilly play grown men who clash when their parents get married. After the two bond, they form a rap duo known as Huff N' Doback.
