Chris Brown has asked Keri Hilson to collaborate with him on a new track for forthcoming album Graffiti.

Brown has previously hooked up with Hilson before on songs Superhuman and Young Love recently revealed the name of his third solo LP, due for release in September.

Hilson, who has helped pen songs for artists such as Britney Spears and Ciara told E! Online: “He contacted me like four or five days ago. Us working together will probably be the first project I’ve worked on as a songwriter in a while.”

Keri, who has also recently collaborated with Ne-Yo and Kanye West on new single Knock You Down also spoke of Brown’s legal problems as he faces assault charges on ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

She stated: “It is unfortunate what they are going through, but I always feel like if you’ve ever had a fan base, you’re really only one song away from appeasing that fan base.”

The Hit maker added: “Whether that song is autobiographical or whether you want to talk about that or not, you’re just one hit song anyway. And that’s what I think of the industry in a nutshell.”

We will have to wait and see. Brown is due in court today to face Rihanna and if found guilty, could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
