Jonas Brothers Go Rap

Jonas Brothers plan to record a hip-hop track.

The squeaky-clean group are keen to work alongside a rapper like Lupe Fiasco to help give one of their "strange" singles a new direction.

Nick Jonas said: "There's a song we wrote recently and we were thinking it sounded kind of different and kind of strange and we'd like to work with a rapper who has some real meaningful lyrics. Someone who has some real depth to what he's saying. Someone like Common, Lupe Fiasco or Mos Def. Someone who takes more of a spoken-word approach. That'd be really cool."

Joe Jonas added: "We have a hip-hop bone in us somewhere."

The brothers also revealed they are currently working on the follow-up to their hit album 'A Little Bit Longer' and have described the upcoming LP as a "summer album".

Joe told MTV: "The next album... we've been in production for it. We're taking our time with it. We started recording on our summer tour last year. I would say we have eight or nine songs completed that we're still tweaking here and there."
