Will Smith has recorded a Latin-inspired rap track with Kanye West in Brazil.

The two men were caught on camera together in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend (09-10Feb13) and now the boss of a local recording studio, where the pair laid down a track, has confirmed Smith and West are working together.

DJ Batutinha tells The Sun newspaper, "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 sound of the funk better. They thought we could all work out something together and launch this new project."
