Jason Aldean's Country singer Next Album May Include Hip-Hop 2011
Jason Aldean took his duet, 'Don't You Wanna Stay,' with pop star Kelly Clarkson to the top of the charts, and now the Georgia native says he is considering a song for hisnew album with another artist that is decidedly not country.

"Probably a pretty good chance [of collaborating with a hip-hop artist]," he tells Billboard. "Probably quicker than you might think, as a matter of fact. So we'll have to see. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag on that too much, but we've got a couple things in the works."The multi-platinum selling singer surprised fans when he showed off his rapping skills in his current single, 'Dirt Road Anthem,' also surprising millions of viewers on Wednesday's CMT Awards when he performed the song alongside famed rapperLudacris. But that isn't too far of a stretch from Jason's musical tastes.

"You listen to my iPod, there's everything from Conway [Twitty] to Kanye [West]. It's everything in between," he explains. "I like all kinds of music. I really do. I like everything from R&B to hip-hop, blues, rock ... I grew up listening to all kinds of music."

But Jason won't be ditching his cowboy hat any time soon. "I don't think there's any chance I'll ever be a rap star," he assures, "but at the same time I have an appreciation for that kind of music and what those guys do, just like I would hope they have an appreciation for what we do, even if it might not be their cup of tea. Just having the respect factor of, it's cool for what it is."

The married father of two young girls is spending more time away from home this year, while he enjoys the perks of headlining his own tour. "It's really been our first year to go out and do major headlining stuff, so it's been great," he says. "It's our first crack at doing amphitheaters, that kind of thing, and so far it's been unbelievable." read more
