Yeah, we get it, you think you're too cool for Justin Bieber. In your minds, the Brampton Stratford, ON-born tween-pop sensation was only meant to write goofy love songs for your little sister. While you're huffing and puffing about it, however, those of us with open minds will be enjoying the high-profile collaborations planned for the Biebs' upcoming new album.

According to WENN, Bieber is currently at work on the follow-up to his smash album, My World 2.0, and he's tapped collaborations with Chris Brown and Drake. On top of that, Biebs has roped in Kanye West, who is hoping to produce much of the record.

Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, told Rap-Up, "Him [Bieber] and Kanye had a call today about a song they're trying to work on together. Kanye wants to produce a bunch of songs for the new album."

West previously teamed up with Raekwon for a remix of Bieber's "Runaway Love," which can be heard below.
