A$AP Rocky let slip the names of some of the artists who will feature on sophomore album A.L.L.A.
As he reveals in an interview with Billboard, the album is now completed, with Rocky revealing that "honestly, it's finished. I'm mastering it right now. It's coming soon. Seriously soon." The album is being produced by Danger Mouse and the late A$AP Yams, who passed away in January this year from a drug overdose.
Whilst he's not planning a 'surprise album' like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, or Earl Sweatshirt, Rocky says he hopes people are surprised by 'how diverse it is', saying "people really don't know the other side of me. The deeper side, the more musical side, the more intellectual side."
"When I first came on the scene it was more of this trendy, bourgeois, pizazz attitude. That's still me but at the end of the day I think that kind of overshadowed the whole purpose of me doing what I do."
He let on that he worked on the song with FKA Twigs three years ago, which will appear on the album alongside collaborations from Lykke Li, Juicy J and Clams Casino.
A$AP Rocky played at SXSW this week and you can watch the video for 'Multiply', the lead single from the upcoming album, below.
