<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> knows a thing or two about "swag," so it's no surprise that the one and only <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lil_wayne/artist.jhtml">Lil Wayne</a> visited the young star while he was deep in the recording process for his next album, <i>Believe.</i>

"Good time in the studio last night. back at it tonight. oh yeah…and big bro came thru…," Bieber <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/justinbieber/status/164793629867651072/photo/1" target="_blank">tweeted</a>, linking to a photo of him and Weezy chilling out and skateboarding together. In case his fans didn't get the message, he followed it up with another <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/justinbieber/status/164800869299273729" target="_blank">tweet</a> and picture: "and when i say big bro i mean @LilTunechi . #BELIEVE IT #family."

While it's unknown whether Wayne will appear on Bieber's album, a certain super-producer is definitely in the mix, according to another <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/justinbieber/status/164605365919563776" target="_blank">tweet</a>: "in the studio with @timbaland and the crew. #creating… got a lot of things i want to write about. ready to make music."

Bieber has said he hopes his new album will have a <a href="/news/articles/1672847/justin-bieber-my-world-new-album-justin-timberlake.jhtml">Justin Timberlake vibe</a>, similar to what Timbaland created on <i>FutureSex/LoveSounds.</i>

And for those wondering how it all went in the studio, Bieber's longtime manager, Scooter Braun, filled fans in. "got great reports on the first night with @justinbieber and@timbaland," Braun <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/scooterbraun/status/164760593901961217" target="_blank">tweeted</a>. "Exciting stuff. heard YMCMB stopped by too. gonna be interesting."

<a href="/news/articles/1677088/justin-bieber-believe-album.jhtml"><i>Believe</i> is set to drop later this year</a>. Bieber has already worked with <a href="/news/articles/1677263/justin-bieber-will-i-am-believe.jhtml">Black Eyed Peas mastermind will.i.am</a>, who will reportedly produce a song for the album. Whether Weezy will have any part on the album, Bieber has said he's been in talks with other MCs, like <a href="/news/articles/1673221/justin-bieber-kanye-west-drake-next-album.jhtml">pal Drake</a> and Kanye West, to make appearances on the album.

"The only conversation we've had about Justin's album that we're about to do is, it's really important that it's the proper transition, because we've seen him [with] 'Baby,' now we're watching him grow up," <a href="/news/articles/1675015/justin-bieber-new-album.jhtml">vocal producer Kuk Harrell told MTV News</a>. "And we can't just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There's a record in between."
