It's been more than a year since Trap Lord hit stores, and during that time Ferg's been holed up in the studio with some of his favorite producers. Rumors spread that this coterie includes Skrillex and Diplo. On this topic, Ferg was elusive.

"Maybe," he told XXL. "But you know, a lot of those people are my friends, so a lot of the times if I'm not working with them, we're just vibing. But I can definitely tell you it's going to be crazy and it's the new Ferg; it's not A$AP Ferg, it's not Trap Lord, it's Ferg and I'm giving my all and I'm going in. I'm going in deep, like I'm telling true stories and it's gonna be crazy."
