Rusko, the producer responsible for M.I.A.‘s current new single, “XXXO,” has been asked to pen for Britney.
From an interview with Rusko in L.A. Weekly:
With stage one of his mainstream-takeover master plan complete, Mercer is now focusing on stage two: major labels. He has produced songs for Rihanna and rapper T.I., and has begun work on a Britney Spears record with megaproducer and South Rakkas Crew label head Alex Greggs. The upcoming tracks may put dubstep, and Rusko, on the map. But he’s not worried about going too pop, he says, as he unveils his M.I.A. tracks from his beat-up laptop.
This is a very, very good thing.
