Britney Spears might be going a little hip-hop on her next album, as she's teaming up with Jay-Z producer Hit-Boy.
Hit-Boy is best known for writing the global hit 'N***as in Paris' for Jay-Z and Kanye West, and Britney is set to be something a little different for him - as he's previously worked with hip-hop stars such as A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar.
Britney is also planning on working with Will.i.am, who she's previously collaborated with on his single 'Scream & Shout' - yes, the one where she bizarrely chose to affect an English accent - as well as 'Big Fat Bass', a track from her previous album Femme Fatale.
Talking about Britney, Will.i.am told MTV News, "I would love to work with Britney again. She has great energy in the studio; she's a sweetheart, a doll of an artist and just a kind, kind person.
"And when she's in the studio, nothing matters but the music. So that's a great experience to have and share with somebody that loves music."

Britney confirmed over Twitter that she was working on her album with different producers last weekend, in a Twitter Q&A with her fans.
The X Factor US judge wrote, "Working hard. Collaborating with some new inspiring producers. Really focused on my music right now."
