Ed Sheeran recording with The Game and Rudimental

Ed Sheeran is working on unlikely collaborations with rapper The Game and electronic group Rudimental.

The A Team hitmaker revealed on his Twitter.com blog on Tuesday (13Aug13) that he had been recording with Rudimental, and he later shared a photo of the Brits relaxing in the studio with hip-hop star The Game.

And it appears the picture with the Dreams MC wasn't the result of a random run-in - the British singer/songwriter has been writing with him.

The Game shared his own image of himself with Sheeran on his Instagram.com page, and wrote in the accompanying caption, "Just made a CLASSIC record with the homie Ed Sheeran...!!!!!!! One of the dopest (best) sessions in my life".

It is not yet known whose project the artists' work will feature on, but they aren't the only famous faces to team up with Sheeran this week (begs12Aug13) - Hollywood actor Johnny Depp was spotted visiting him at a studio in Los Angeles, where One Direction member Zayn Malik was also present.
