A$AP Rocky's New Album To Feature FKA Twigs, Lykke Li, Juicy J & More

"Honestly, it's finished. I'm mastering it right now. It's coming soon. Seriously soon," Rocky said of the album's progress, adding that people will be surprised by "how diverse it is."

"People really don't know the other side of me," he explained. "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. I'm an incredibly diverse artist, I'm a universal artist. At least that's how I see it."

Rocky is fresh off his SXSW performance in Austin, where he seemed to be in good spirits alongside his fellow A$AP Mob members.

Elsewhere in the Billboard interview, Rocky talks about the festival becoming too corporate, the success of his first foray into acting in the high-selling film Dope, his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar's new album To Pimp A Butterfly, and more.

Last month Rocky dropped the video for his single "Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2." The rapper will also be performing at the annual Roots Picnic at the end of May along with Erykah Badu, The Weekend, DJ Mustard and more.
