West, Smith record song in Brazil

Rapper Kanye West and actor Will Smith have recorded a track together while they were both in Brazil for the Rio carnival. The 'Stronger' rapper and the 'Men In Black' went into the studio of DJ Batutinha together to lay down a new track, which pays tribute to their time in the South American country, reported Contactmusic. "Kanye was keen to get to learn more about the funk in Rio and a DJ friend of mine referred him to me. Will and him went to the studio to get to know the sonority of the funk better. I spoke to them about Naldo and his production, and they thought we could all work out something together and launch this new project," said DJ Batutinha. West, 35, and Smith, 44, plan to finish off the track back in the US and will then send it back to Batutinha so that he can give the song more of a "Brazilian" feel.
