Page Six of the New York Post reports exclusively that Kanye West and former Beatle Paul McCartney have secretly teamed up in the recording studio for a number of new tracks.

According to the report, the new tracks from West and Sir Paul may be developed into an album. Included in the new new tunes is the provactively titled 'Piss on My Grave', which even shocked Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian.

While a rep for Kanye has refused to comment on the report, it was confirmed that the rapper was in the house for McCartney's recent concert at LA's Dodger Stadium.

News of the collaboration comes after previous comments from McCartney in which he has expressed interested in working with either West or Jay Z.

Legendary artist Paul McCartney is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame as a member of the Beatles, widely regarded as one of the most popular and influential acts in the history of rock music; his songwriting partnership with Lennon is one of the most celebrated of the 20th century. After the band's break-up, he pursued a solo career and later formed Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine.

McCartney has been recognised as one of the most successful composers and performers of all time, with 60 gold discs and sales of over 100 million albums and 100 million singles of his work with the Beatles and as a solo artist. Wings' 1977 release "Mull of Kintyre" is one of the all-time best-selling singles in the UK. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in March 1999, McCartney has written, or co-written 32 songs that have reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and as of 2014 he has sold more than 15.5 million RIAA-certified units in the United States. McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr received MBEs in 1965, and in 1997, McCartney was knighted for his services to music.
