Riff Raff talks new album 'Neon Icon'

Riff Raff may already be considering newer, twang-ier projects, but he still has an album to promote. Neon Icon drops in the coming months via Mad Decent and Jody Highroller himself talked up his major label debut with Rolling Stone.

"I never had an album - never had mixed, mastered tracks - from a professional company, so I'm just proud of the whole thing," Riff told the magazine. "It's my best work and it's my first professional work. I'm just excited to see what it does."

The rapper seemed happy that he landed on Diplo's label. The EDM kingpin serves as co-executive producer of the album and split production duties with Raff.

"I was looking at the things he did, and I saw the world that he's in," Raff said of the Major Lazer mastermind. "He's one of the top people in the EDM world. I saw the EDM world and wanted to be in that more than the hip-hop world."

Raff says he narrowed the album down from around thirty tracks and that what's left is pure, distilled Jody.

"It's got my best tracks. I got features from the real artists and stuff...when someone hears the album, I want them to feel my vibe and feel something they never felt with another artist," he said.

As for those cutting room floor tracks, Riff says he plans to release them in a quote that could very well some up the rapper's entire career.

"Get them out there. Might as well."
