ILOVEMAKONNEN’s hit single “Tuesday” helped the Atlanta native rise through the Hip Hop ranks last year. The song was rewarded with a nomination at the 57th annual Grammys.
Although he didn’t win, MAKONNEN still showed up to the award show. On the red carpet, he spoke to MTV about his “whirlwind”2014 and his plans for the new year, which include his forthcoming album.
“It should be out in June or July-ish, but i’m going on a tour starting in April,” he says. “I’m working on that right now.”
ILOVEMAKONNEN also reveals that he’s collaborating with “a lot of different artists” on the project.
“Diplo, Skrillex, Snoop Dogg, Drake, of course, Rihanna,” he says. “I love Rihanna.”

Aaaaand nobody cares, Mr. Tuesday. Your 15 minutes are almost up.
He’s about to shut down the competition.
No, he ain’t. He’ll be another one-hit wonder who’ll be forgotten about before the end of the year. Drake can’t help everybody.
Oh yeah he’ll shut down the competition, the competition of making shitty music.
Aye, how much did that EP of his sell?
It ain’t about sales. That EP was fire. That’s the difference between OVO and other brands, OVO makes quality music. Who produced the perfect grimy beat for Kendrick to rap to on The Blacker The Berry? Boi-1da. OVO is the new Motown, nothing but timeless production and songwriting.
The EP was trash. And it is about sales for them and you. There’s no quality music coming from that label and they’re nothing like Motown, so stop disgracing Motown’s name by comparing them to those bitches. Also, Boi1da didn’t make the beat alone, he has ghost producers
LOL people would honestly go see this weak ass nigga at a show?
