Ed Sheeran is working with rapper Game and dance group Rudimental on new material.

The 'Lego House' singer is currently recording the follow up to his debut album, '+', in Los Angeles where he had a "nuts" couple of days collaborating.

He wrote on Instagram: "Another great day making music. This time me, the game and rudimental. Nuts (sic)."

He later added: "6 songs done in 2 days with @RudimentalUk and @thegame. Awesome (sic)"

Game - who is a protege of Dr. Dre and is a former member of 50 Cent's G-Unit rap crew - was also impressed with the session, tweeting: "Just made a Classic record with the homie Ed Sheeran...!!!!!!! One of the dopest sessions in my life (sic)".

Rudimental also posted a picture from the session, with a caption saying "Only in #LA!!"

Ed has previously said he's narrowed down 50 prospective tracks to 12 for his new album, but ruled out duetting with his friend Taylor Swift, who he is currently on a US tour with.
