Waka Flocka Flame is postponing his retirement plans, heading into 2012 with the announcement of a sophomore album.

Speaking to Billboard, the 25-year-old rapper spoke about his previously pushed back LP Triple F Life: "It felt like a rushed project. I'm going to do it first quarter [in 2012] because I need to put my all into it."

He added: "I felt like I was trying to please the label and not the people that really listen to the music."

The southern emcee also revealed that he is trying to hook up with rapper DMX for his next LP, "I'm trying to put a song together with DMX; he needs to get back on the scene!"

The ‘No Hands’ star then proclaimed "I'm gonna be the No. 1 artist of the year. That's not a prediction, that's a fact!"
