Afrojack is one of the word's best-known DJs, but he hadn't released his full-length debut until this May's Forget the World.
He recently sat down with Complex to discuss the LP and reveal who he wants to work with most.
"So much has unfolded since the release, and it's all things I am grateful for," he said. "The album took things to another level for me, and it was awesome to work with so many talented musicians and artists. With the album I wanted to try new things and show my versatility as an artist, and it's a great feeling to know I was able to introduce my fans to a different side of me and my music."
One song in particular will stick with him.
"The track I connect with the most would be 'Keep Our Love Alive,' because it's a dedication to all of my loyal fans who have stuck with me on this entire journey," Afro said. "The biggest crowd pleaser would be the track I did with Wrabel called 'Ten Feet Tall.' I have pretty sick visuals that I use, and it's such an easy track for fans to single along with."
So who does he want to connect with?
"I would love to do a track with Kanye," he said. "I have even already sent him some stuff. His song 'Runaway' was a huge inspiration for me. All those guys are so talented with their lyrics and beats I can only imagine the kind of sound that would be created with a collaboration or remix.
"I am really inspired by Kanye and think his sound and style is sick. I've gone to a lot of his shows and even met him in person, so it would be an honor to work with him."
One person Afro probably won't be working with? Eminem. The two were linked in bizarre fashion last year when Will Ferrell jokingly asked Em if he had heard the (made-up) rumors that Afro was throwing shade, and Em replied, "Who?"
The event led to thousands of Shady fans swarming AJ's social media accounts with "Who?" posts.
