On Thursday, Nathan Sykes announced he’s teaming up with rapper and producer G-Eazy on his upcoming song “Give It Up.” “I think it’s a bit unexpected for me to have a rapper feature on one of my tracks, but I love surprising people and G-Eazy is smashing it right now,” the singer, 22, tells PEOPLE exclusively about the collaboration. Sykes is currently touring in the U.K. with girl group Little Mix, and has given his fans a peek at the song. “I’ve been performing an acoustic version on tour … that has had a great reaction, but I can’t wait for people to hear the studio version,” he adds.
