Waka Flocka Flame is transitioning from hip hop to EDM with the release of his new album. The new album is to be titled ‘Turn Up God.'
Waka told XXL that the first time he heard EDM was in London or Paris. “First time I heard it I was in fucking… I think I was in London or Paris,” He said. “You know when you go into a club and you hear that techno shit. Then one day I heard it the “Brick Squad Anthem.” I’m like, “Oh, shit.” The club was rocking, nigga, and I’m like, “What the fuck? Why the hell I don't know about this?” And one of my boys was like, “It's the new shit, they love you.” And I was like, fuck it, and I was in Europe doing hip-hop at night, and I'd go fuck with that [after]. So I got like two, three months of training on it. This is a market too.”
So far the list of collaborators include Borgore, DJ Carnage, DJ Mayhem, The Zombie Kids, Diplo and Steve Aoki.
