M.I.A Recording New Album With Chris Brown

April 22, 2011
M.I.A Recording New Album With Chris BrownM.I.A has recruited Chris Brown to help record her new album, it has been revealed.

Brown, the former boyfriend of Rihanna, is one of a host of musicians M.I.A is collaborating with on the as-yet-untitled effort.

Niles 'Cyrano' Hollowell-Dhar, one-half of the duo Cataracs, told Bilboard the signer was keen to impress following the poor reception her album album, "/\/\ /\ Y /\", received when it was released last summer.

"I think she's really going f*cking H.A.M. (hard as a mother f*cker) on this," he said. "She's not pulling any punches."

Swizz Beatz and Polow da Don have also been working in the studio with M.I.A in Los Angeles.
