After Rich The Kid posted, and then swiftly deleted, a screenshot of him FaceTiming Frank Ocean, sources have confirmed that the two are in the studio together.

The hype surrounding Frank Ocean's much-delayed new album, which was supposed to be released at some point last year and never materialised, was reignited this week when Rich The Kid posted the screenshot below with the caption, "Me X Frank Ocean... Smh."

He subsequently deleted the tweet, but continued to retweet news stories that reported their collaboration, telling Complex, "Hope y'all ready."

Now, a source close to Rich The Kid has confirmed to The Fader that the pair headed to the studio together yesterday (7 January). Lets hope this means Ocean's new album will finally appear at some point this year.

Channel Orange, Ocean's debut solo album, was released in 2012 to critical acclaim.
