By Sam Rigby
Frank Ocean is working on new music with Hit-Boy and Rodney Jerkins.
The singer is recording material for the follow-up to his 2012 debut Channel Orange, after signing a new management deal with Three Six Zero earlier this summer, according to Billboard.
Hit-Boy and Jerkins are well known for their collaborations with the likes of Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears.
Back in 2012, Ocean opened up about his sexuality, explaining that his first love was a man.
“By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless,” he explained. “There was no escaping, no negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love. It changed my life.”
Earlier this year, Ocean’s discussion of his sexuality was named one of the 25 greatest gay moments in music – read more here.
