Although Waka Flocka Flame’s Flockaveli 2album won’t be released until later this year, the Southern wordsmith recently spoke with XXL magazine to give the inside scoop on some of the tracks featured on his upcoming album.

While speaking on his Flockaveli 2 record “John Gotti,” Waka revealed that fans can expect to hear “street shit” and “rowdy music” on his project. He added that he also wants “to put the fun back in” Hip Hop.

“Street shit. Straight up, no singles [on the album], straight just street shit. That’s all I love; I love the streets,” Waka Flocka Flame said while breaking down his “John Gotti” record. “I don’t know how to flex, I didn’t grow up ballin’ or wearing Jordans, so all I know is rowdy music. [With this] I just want to bring the rowdy shit back. Hip-hop ain’t fun; I want to put the fun back in it. It’s not bouncy no more. Hip-hop is very arrogant today.”

Another record the Atlanta, Georgia rapper spoke on was the Tae E-produced “Spend On Her.” He says the song came about after he made several strip club visits, and it was requested that he make music for the strip clubs again.

“Every time I go to the strip club, they always be like, ‘Make something that we can dance to,’” he said. “They be hitting me in my DM on Instagram. They always tell me to make some strip club shit because I always did and I stopped making it for them. Tae E produced it, a young boy. I’m bringing all new producers to this. And why would [I pay] 100 bands, 50 bands for a beat? When you making the same beat that this young nigga is making on the internet? If they make a quality beat, they can get some quality money.”

Waka Flocka Flame’s feature with XXL is included in the publication’s Spring 2015 issue.
