For a guy who sings about teen love, Justin Bieber sure does have some street cred. Besides working with Ludacris on the most viewed YouTube video of all time, 'Baby,' and calling on Busta Rhymes' rapid-fire verses for a track on his forthcoming 'Under the Mistletoe' holiday album, JB has now nailed down two of hip-hop's finest for his 2012 album 'Believe.'

He may be Usher's protege, but the 17-year-old pop sensation has revealed that he has recruited both Kanye West, 34, and Drake, 25, for his studio project. Bieber told U.K. radio host, Capital FM's Rich Clarke, the news. "I'm working with a lot of cool people. I'm working with Kanye. Drake is going to work on the album with me."

"I just learned about picking the right songs and making sure that I create a sound that people aren't really used to hearing so that it's new and fun and people enjoy it," Bieber added without specifying whether Yeezy and Drizzy would be producing his tracks, guesting on them with their rhymes, or both.

When it comes to a Bieber/Kanye collab, we already got a little preview via Kanye and Raekwon's remix of Justin's 'My World 2.0' track 'Runaway Love.' JB may have lost his swagger coach, but he's bound to pick up some tips from these two experts while hanging in the studio!
