Justin Bieber Enlists Lil Wayne For New Album

Justin Bieber is teaming up with hip-hop heavyweight Lil Wayne on his upcoming album. He tweeted, “Good time in the studio last night. back at it tonight. oh yeah…and big bro came thru… and when i say big bro i mean @LilTunechi. #BELIEVE IT.” Bieber announced on Twitter last month that he had started recording Believe, which follows his full-length Christmas album Under The Mistletoe.

He has collaborated with Ludacris, Kanye West, Raekwon, and Busta Rhymes on past projects. Over the past week, Bieber has also worked with songwriter Sean Garrett, as well as Timbaland, who helped craft FutureSex/Lovesounds, in 2006 for another pop superstar Justin Timberlake.
