Kanye West working with Skrillex for new album

Rapper KANYE WEST has recruited DJ/producer SKRILLEX to work on his next solo album.

The dubstep sensation reveals he has already been in the studio with West and their first collaboration is expected to feature on the follow-up to 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Skrillex tells TheDailyBeast.com, "I did some music with Kanye and from what I know, it's actually going to be the first song on his new album."

West, who is preparing to release his label's G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer in September (12), has yet to share details about his next solo project, but producer No I.D. recently told fans to expect more groundbreaking work soon.

He said, "I'm not working on that (Cruel Summer) album, I'm working on his album. This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss."
