Asher Roth confirms Neptunes for album

Asher Roth has confirmed that he is working with The Neptunes on his upcoming second album.

The 24-year-old rapper has insisted that having a vision for his album has been more important than rushing the release of a record, SOHH reports.

Roth said: "We got a couple joints, couple ideas that I was working with. But right now we're just getting the ideas and vision correct, we got our ball of clay, but we haven't started carving yet which I think it's super important to get a battle plan and vision together, if you don't have that, I mean, it's always nice to have your plan and let it go where it goes.

"But to just step blindly into stuff, it's fun but at the same time, that's why we're in Miami messing around, we got some friends down here. We got some friends that you wouldn't expect but we're in Miami with the Neptunes and we're going be hanging out with them.

"I'm not the traditional, 'Let's get a radio hit out of you guys', it's more for that esoteric sound. This album is going to be about bringing the earth and kinda the spacey ideas together. It's about bridging the gap but we're here and that's kinda where we are right now."

Roth recently announced that he hopes to release his sophomore album on his birthday this summer.
