Chris Brown let the world know on Twitter at the weekend that his Fan Of A Fan collaboration album with Tyga will be released in the summer.

“X album, Fan of a Fan ( the album) this SUMMER!!!!”

The project was originally going to be a free mixtape (like the first one) called Fan Of A Fan 2, but it looks like Breezy and T-Raww are making it an album that will be sold in stores.

This means that we can be looking forward to two studio albums from Tygaman dropping this year, or three if you count the Young Money: Rise Of An Empire compilation!

Last night, Young Money’s Tyga hit the studio with GOOD Music’s Kanye West to work on new music. T-Raww shared the picture above on his Instagram page with the caption “Raww x Yeezus”.

There is no word yet on what project they were working on, but it could of been Tygaman‘s upcoming The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty.
