Following his first hit "Tuesday (Remix)" featuring Drake last year, iLoveMakonnen is now more than ready to release his debut studio album, which is set to be assisted by his OVO boss again, as well as Rihanna, Diplo, Skrillex and Snoop Dogg.
During his red carpet appearance at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday evening, the Atlanta, Georgia native revealed that his upcoming record is expected to arrive later this year.
"It should be out in June or July-ish," he told MTV News. "I'm going on a tour starting in April, so working on that right now."
He then named several chart-topping artists that are lined up to team up with him for his latest project: "[I'm collaborating with] a lot of different artists -- Diplo, Skrillex, Snoop Dogg, Drake, of course, Rihanna."
The musician added that he had not yet been in the studio with Rihanna but had discussions for their upcoming collaboration.
"I love Rihanna," he said. "We're just working on some ideas and stuff, but it's gonna happen in due time."
Makonnen Sheran took to his Twitter account on Feb. 10 to post a snapshot of himself sitting on a couch alongside his mom and the two aforementioned EDM DJ:
Also, Snoop Lion previously contributed a verse to the hip-hop newcomer's track "21st Street" off his mixtape "Drink More Water 4."
"Tuesday" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at this year's Grammys but lost out to Eminem's "Marshall Mathers LP 2" track "Monster" featuring RiRi.
iLoveMakonnen, who was actually discovered by Drizzy on SoundCloud last year, is scheduled to kick off tour in April. Check out his recent interview with MTV below:
