Kanye West spent time in the studio with Lil' Wayne at the weekend, it has emerged.

The two rappers' whereabouts were disclosed by Young Money house engineer Mike Banger and rapper Short Dawg in separate messages on Twitter.

It is not clear what the pair were working on, although reports claim it maye be a song for Lil' Wayne's forthcoming album 'Tha Carter IV'.

The album, which is due out this year, will mark the rapper's first full studio effort since he was freed from jail in November.

Meanwhile, West released 'H.A.M', his new song with Jay-Z earlier this week. The track is taken from their forthcoming joint album 'Watch The Throne'.
