You know what I need in my life? Some new music from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

Well, you know what they say: Ask and you shall receive...kind of. While the guys are hard at work on their sophomore album, the follow-up to their chart-topping debut, The Heist, they told us that they don't have plans to release it until next year.

"We are in the studio," Macklemore told MTV News at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. "I'm going into it in a place of getting back to the basics of why I make art and just be in the studio and create stuff."

The rapper attended the star-studded music fest this past weekend, where he not only mesmerized attendees with his rendition of "Same Love" with surprise guest Ed Sheeran, but also wowed the crowd by taking the stage with Fences to perform their Lewis-produced track, "Arrows."

On the song, Mackelmore raps about the struggles and pitfalls of fame. He wrote one of his verses in December 2013 while he was on a short break from the non-stop touring and publicity that followed his and Ryan's breakout success. Nearly 10 months later, it seems that the Seattle-born artist is still in that same headspace.

"I think a lot of it is still relevant because I wrote the second verse later," he said. "I think a lot of it is still there, it might be for a while."

And while he wouldn't divulge anything else about which topics are moving him at the moment, Macklemore is getting inspired by "the process of writing every day over and over again and getting it out."

Back in May, Ryan told MTV News that their upcoming project will be both different from, yet still similar to, their previous effort, which gave us the inescapable hits "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us."

“Of course, a lot of it is different, [because] the context of working and your team, your whole environment and your life has completely changed,” he continued. “But then there’s also aspects which are completely the same...I think the game is the same, the art the same, the process is the same. So for me, it’s really exciting.”
