He told P.M. Entertainment that he has been in constant talks with Brown.

“I have been communicating with Chris Brown for quite a while now. Although he is busy, we are hopeful of having the song ready next year, just in time for my album,” he said.

Don Soulja claimed the pair communicates via Twitter and added that most of the tracks for his yet to be released album are ready.

“I’m working seriously to release my album next year and it will feature Terry G, 9ice, Clever J, Olamide, Shocker and hopefully, Chris Brown, if our deal is sealed,” he stated.

The ambitious artiste is not signed to a record label yet and has no manager because he wants a record label that will sign him on and have adequate time to produce his music and brand.

According to him, his hit single, Tutu, is just a reflection of what he makes of the music industry. He believes that Nigerian music has grown tremendously and that Nigerian artistes now make shed loads of money.

“Tutu is a song that explains how Nigerian artistes have become big and how they can spend as against what used to be in the past,” he submitted, adding that working with Terry G was good for him because he learnt a lot from him. Although he wrote his song, he said Terry G’s experience as a producer and musician added more quality to an already good song. “Terry G had been on my mind for a while and he promised that he would work with me. I thank God that it worked out well,” he said.
