'I played him something I've been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it,' White tells British GQ.By Kyle Anderson Jay-Z Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Jack White is a busy man. At the moment, he's involved in at least one full-time outfit (the Dead Weather) while two other groups wait in the wings (the Raconteurs and the long-dormant White Stripes). Though each of his musical projects is unique, they all feature White's swamp-monster guitar sounds and his signature voice. According to a recent interview in the British version of GQ magazine, he may now be expanding his palette to include hip-hop. "I just did a record with Jay-Z," White told the magazine. "We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible." White didn't tell the magazine when the song might be released or on whose album it could appear, but he was blown away by Jigga's legendary knack for improvisation. "I played him something that I've been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it," White said. "It's unbelievable-sounding." This would mark White's first proper foray into hip-hop, though he has already teamed up with a mutual friend of his and Jay's. In 2008, he recorded "Another Way to Die" — the official theme song of the 2008 James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" — with Alicia Keys, churning out a ruggedly sexy track that split the difference between White's visceral garage and Keys' funky R&B. White can currently be seen in the new White Stripes concert documentary "Under Great White Northern Lights," while Jay is busy helping get a basketball arena built in Brooklyn.

Duo join Will.I.Am, Major Lazer, Nas and more in Miami.By Akshay Bhansali LMFAO Photo: MTV News LMFAO, Will.I.Am, Nas and Damien Marley, David Guetta, Major Lazer and A-Trak are among the artists performing at this year's Winter Music Conference in Miami. The WMC has been the most important electronic music festival in the U.S. for the past 25 years. Typically it has been a place where names like Paul Van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiesto have held court, spinning four- to six-hour sets for their fans. However, a few now-household names first got their start at past WMCs. Back in 2008, a then relatively unknown artist graced the stage of the Armani Exchange Pool Party at the Raleigh Hotel — Stefani Germanotta, otherwise known as Lady Gaga. LMFAO also have the WMC to thank for bringing their music national attention. In their first interview with MTV News in April of last year, just a month after their performance at the Conference, they explained how fast their music caught on. "Before we ever went to Miami, we made the song called 'I'm in Miami Trick,' " Sky Blu explained. "We went to a place called the Clevelander — they played our song and by the second chorus people were singing along with the song like they already knew it. And this had never been played in a club. It had never been played outside of the speakers at our house." The single would go on to peak at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and since then the guys in LMFAO have released the singles "La La La" and "Shots," joined the Black Eyed Peas on tour and even managed to get into a Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta bizarre skirmish with Mitt Romney. But it was at the Winter Music Conference where the two first felt a sense that they were onto something. "We are at the Winter Music Conference," Redfoo said. "Where travelers and DJs from all over the world are coming. People were singing our song that didn't even speak English — because partying is universal." LMFAO are planning to do it all again, only this time on a much bigger scale — he guys will be taking the WMC stage for the Ultra Music Festival. The UMF at Winter Music Conference will also feature the likes of Will.I.Am, A-Trak, Major Lazer, Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Passion Pit and many more.
