Chris Brown Collaborating With Lil Wayne

According to Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown is recording a duet with rapper Lil Wayne for his new album.

"He's got something to prove," producer Swizz told MTV. "He worked on 60, 70 songs [for new album 'Graffiti']. He's just on fire."

"I told him, 'Listen, man, just stay focused on your music. They gonna throw shots at you. Time heals everything'."

"He has great support; his mother is amazing," Swizz added, in reference to Brown's assault case against Rihanna. "I was really scoping out the situation, it could have been something I didn't want to be around, but I really got a great vibe. Honestly."

Beatz then spoke about the collaboration with Lil Wayne, adding: "The Wayne part is just nothing to talk about. He really showed his a** on this one."

"It's probably the best feature verse since the 'It's Me [B******]' remix. He really went in on the 'Transformer' joint."
