Waka Flocka's party anthems and club bangers are getting the EDM treatment.

Over the past year, the rapper has been working with some of the best in the dance world including Skrillex, Diplo and Steve Aoki, who he toured with a few months ago.

His new musical direction has led him to title his upcoming EDM rap album, Turn Up God.
In an interview with XXL, the rapper talks about his new path, the status of Flockaveli 2 and more.

"Flockaveli 2, I'm just going to be turning up man," he said, "That's s***'s fire. I've got some s*** for Flockaveli 2. One of my favorite records on that s*** is "How You Feel." Oh my God. That's my s***. I've got Ty Dolla $ign on this, it's crazy. It's called "Your Boy." It's crazy, I got mad s*** man. It's been done but I keep making records. The more we sit, the more good records and s*** we'll be piling up. We got to put this s***together."

He also talked about his EDM album, Turn Up God.

"That s***'s fire. Turn Up God, fire, man. It's just me having fun. I really get to do me."
He then shared some of his influences on the album and how he felt when he first heard a dance remix of one of his tracks.

"First time I heard it I was in f*****g... I think I was in London or Paris. You know when you go into a club and you hear that techno s***. Then one day I heard it the "Brick Squad Anthem." I'm like, "Oh, s***." The club was rocking, n****, and I'm like, "What the f***? Why the hell I don't know about this?" And one of my boys was like, "It's the new s****, they love you." And I was like, f*** it, and I was in Europe doing hip-hop at night, and I'd go f*** with that [after]. So I got like two, three months of training on it. This is a market too."

Turn Up God is planned to drop in the fall, while Flockaveli 2 will be released in the winter.
