Justin Bieber earned himself a bit of cred with his latest #MusicMondays series, which found the teen sensation venturing in a more mature, R&B-infused direction. The Biebz then surprised us with an R. Kelly collaboration on one of his latest offerings, but apparently he's still got a couple of big features up his sleeve.
Bieber took to Twitter to announce a very unexpected collaboration with Chance The Rapper, to which Chance echoed his excitement for. He also unveiled what is rumored to be a pretty massive crew track, involving Lil Wayne, Big Sean, R. Kelly, Diplo, and Chance once again.
According to Complex, the first collab between Chance and Bieber is titled "Confident," and will drop as the finale to the #MusicMondays series next week, while the crew track, titled "Journals" will see release one week later.
