Rhymes eyes Winehouse collaboration

Busta Rhymes is hoping to collaborate with troubled British singer Amy Winehouse.

The rapper is reluctant to work with America's big name artists, preferring to go into the studio with someone relatively new to the music scene.

And he has named Winehouse as his first choice.

He says: "Her music is incredible. I am definitely a fan.

"There are a lot of artists I'd like to work with, but I don't want to work with them because of their names, I want to work with them because I know what we'd do together would be something special."
