Juicy J: 'Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' is amazing'

Producer Juicy J has praised a new song by Katy Perry called 'Dark Horse' that he was called in to work on with her.

Speaking to MTV News, the rapper explained that he was contacted by the 'Teenage Dream' beauty's team and was asked to help her out on a new track:

"I just did something with Katy Perry, man. That song is amazing. Dr. Luke called me up and was like, 'Hey man, Katy Perry wants you to do a song with her'."

He also opened up about working with her and confessed that she was very professional and just got on with recording: "No, no, no, no. She's very professional, everything went smooth and she's a great person. My verse I did on that song, she was singing it. She's really a genius, she was by the mixing board and telling the guy what to take in and take out. She's really hands-on with her music, she knows music."

Perry recently told MTV that 'Dark Horse', which will be her next single from 'Prism', is a cautionary tale about falling in love with her: "It's got me, a pop artist, with a little bit of an urban kind of hip-hop-flavoured background soundtrack to it, and the lyrics are kind of witchy and dark, as if I was a witch warning this man not to fall in love with me, and if you do - know I'm going to be your last."
