The rapper, who currently features on Rihanna's number one track 'What's My Name', says he enjoys working with UK acts.

"Me and Flo met the night after the VMAs, she came to the studio and we just clicked right away. Me and Florence can get in the studio and do something incredible and we will," Drake told BBC Newsbeat.

On working with The xx's Jamie he said: "The praises I'll sing most is definitely The xx and Jamie, and we're working on Take Care [Drake's second album] together. Jamie is probably one of the most exciting producers I've ever heard,"
