Shortly before the Hit-Boy remix to Britney‘s ‘Scream & Shout’, surfaced online, the hip-hop producer shared some details about the singer’s new album. Speaking to MTV News, Hit-Boy confirms that the music he’s submitting will combine hip-hop and pop elements, resulting in a global sound.

Working with the pop princess is new ground for Hit-Boy. It will really challenge him as a producer and whether he can actually break away from the “hip-hop” mold. This marks the first time they’ve worked together so what transpires from their studio sessions will be very intriguing to say the least. The 31-year-old is also working with Elijah Blake and will.i.am on the upcoming project.
