Ed Sheeran & Charlamagne Tha God Discuss “No. 6 Collaborations”
Ed Sheeran shares a few details about his upcoming “No. 6 Collaborations” project.
After explaining that he intends on dropping the album and moving on, prompting Charlamagne to compare it to a “mixtape.” Ed corrects him, claiming it lies closer to a “compilation album.” He also reveals that crafting the project was a natural process, and he went out of his way to avoid any awkward label matchmaking. “My rule for it was if I have it and play it in my car, I’m working with them,” claims Ed. The pair then get sidetracked for a spell to have a laugh at Ed’s inclusion in the “Donkey Of The Day” intro, which Ed has no recollection of laying down due to early-morning inebriation.
“This project actually started with one idea I had,” says Ed, revealing his intention of making an all-male “Lady Marmalade,” featuring Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and himself. Upon calling Bruno, Ed was soon convinced to do a different idea altogether for their duet. As the conversation winds down, Sheeran reveals that he intends on respecting his position in hip-hop culture, through aims of giving back to the community. “It’s about showing respect,” says Ed. “Not just being like, ‘come to me.”
