Diplo has a ton of hits to his name, but he thinks the biggest project of his career is on the horizon when BTS’ comeback album, “Arirang” is released.<\/p>\n

The DJ and producer spoke about working with the Bulletproof Boy Scouts at the Fanatics Super Bowl party on Saturday … and he said music fans aren’t ready for what’s coming March 20.<\/p>\n

“I just feel so lucky because I’ve been working for three decades and to link up with a group like that, and have them trust me and do some awesome music … honestly, it’s gonna shock the world,” Diplo said Saturday night. “Craziest album ever.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s unclear how many tracks Diplo will have his fingerprints on … but the project will feature 14 new tunes for listeners to enjoy.<\/p>\n

As for the music-making process with the K-pop icons, Diplo said RM, Jin, Jimin, j-hope, Jung Kook, V and Suga are true professionals in the studio … adding, “They’re so hands-on. They’re so creative. I can’t believe it.”<\/p>\n

“Jung Kook — no autotune. Perfect voice.”<\/p>\n

On top of their music talents, Diplo admitted the guys are super funny and chill … and for what it’s worth, they smell really nice, too.<\/p>\n

So, where does this rank among his career accomplishments?? He said the BTS collab takes the cake.<\/p>\n

“For sure, it’s gonna be the biggest thing I’ve ever done.”<\/p>\n

BTS will mark their return next month after nearly four years off<\/a> to complete their mandatory military service … a rollout that includes a live show on Netflix and a sold-out world tour to promote their highly-anticipated album.<\/p>\n

Just a few more weeks, ARMY.
