Rap star Psy, who has been an Aerosmith fan since he was a young boy, has revealed that he will be collaborating for an upcoming track with the legendary Steven Tyler.

“When I was in middle school, I literally cried when Aerosmith sang ‘Crazy’ or ‘Amazing’ or whatever,” Psy said in this month’s issue of L’Uomo Vogue, where the K-pop star graced the cover. “They were my lifetime role models, and now I am collaborating with Steven Tyler. ... I love my life.”

Psy has pushed back the release of his upcoming U.S. album numerous times, previously slating it for the summer and then September. He added once again that fans may be able to hear something new from the artist by November.

“I am recording every day, what I am trying to do is make song after song. I am totally out of that stress and pressure right now, so maybe there’s going to be another album, or single or an EP but ... one thing I know ... I am on fire right now,” Psy said.
