Kevin Federline has been cranking out new tunes in his home studio and is planning to give the music biz another try. The "PopoZão" purveyor, whose debut album, Playing with Fire, sold barely 20,000 copies, is supposedly an ex-aspiring rapper now.

"Kevin has been actively producing, nurturing new artists and doing it all from his home studio, so he can be there for his kids whenever they need him," said a source close to Federline. "He loves the music business and is committed to making it a career for himself, even if it's not as a singer."

"He knows no one will ever take him seriously as a performer, so he's working behind the scenes as a producer."

You're all familiar with my deep love hate for Kevin Federsperm. I am so crushed that we won't be blessed with more "Popozao"s. I could jack to that song. In one of the opening lines K-Fed said, "You can just call me daddy dude" and I've obeyed. I've obeyed, motherfucker! Now stop producing and start rappin' so we can all laugh our asses off. I need some Xanax now. Depressed.
