“I’m not going to say it’s a sound that’s new which no-one has heard, but I am doing it in my own way you know?” drawls Tyga in his distinctive Southern California accent. “I like to have fun. I suppose I’d call it car music, you know what I’m saying? Music you could just ride to or listen on headphones and it takes you to another place and lets you forget your situation and what is going on around you.”

“I wanted to relate to what was going on in the world, things that people maybe don’t talk about,” he reveals, “but the vision is something I made up in my head – it’s a world within my head. It’s my vision of what is going on and what I see. It’s love and war; all the types of things we do I guess.” Casting himself as the eponymous monarch, Tyga’s approach to the record was simple; literary. “It’s like creating a book. I mean, when you create a theme album like ‘Careless World: Rise Of The Last King’ it has to work like a story book, so you have that narration and people can follow the whole story. Once you get in the creative mood, ideas just pop up and you take them on. That’s the good thing with making music; there are no limits on what you can do.”

Careless World: Rise of The Last King in stores February 21st.
