Example has been sitting on his new album for over a year.
Example
The 'Kickstarts' hitmaker hasn't been able to release his sixth studio - the follow-up to 2014's 'Live Life Living' - because he's waiting on his record label to allow him to put it out.
Example - whose real name is Elliot Gleave - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've had an album ready for over a year now. The industry's changed, I mean you don't see a lot of records; people only want to put out a single. So I mean if they want to put out an album."
However, that hasn't stopped the 34-year-old rapper from continuing to write new material for it, he's compiled a staggering 50 songs so far this year.
Asked if he's still working on it, he said: "I've written 50 songs this year! Its ready. If not, I'm just going to continue writing songs."
Example - who is married to Australian actress Erin McNaught, with whom he has 19-month-old son Evander - says he's never had so much "inspiration" and he spends every day in the studio."
He said: "I find it really easy to find inspiration at the minute. I have a studio five minutes from where I live, and I'm in there every day with my bass player and my guitarists if I'm not on tour."
