Air OVO: Drake Inks Deal With Jordan Brand
When Nike’s partnership with Kanye West broke down and the rapper decided to head to the land of the Three Stripes (more on that later), Jordan Brand swooped in and picked up another rapper who’s quite fond of rocking Jordan’s on stage every given night. Drake already had a deal in place where the Jumpman […]
That Time Drake Tatted Houston’s Name On It So We’d Know It’s Real
“H-Town my second home like I’m James Harden…” Look, it’s no secret that Aubrey Drake Graham is particularly fond of Houston, Texas. When he’s not performing or somehow finding any occasion to come down to our city, he’s swaggerjacking showing us love on every single one of his major projects. Hell, he even made it […]
Timbaland – Know Bout Me (f. Drake, Jay Z & James Fauntleroy) [@timbaland @drake @fauntleroy]
Their mid summer reunion proving to be sweet once more, Timbaland and Jay Z join together for “Know Bout Me”. But, there’s something amiss here. For starters, the Jiggman is only here to deliver a few sparse words about dreams and such leaving all of the rapping duties to Timbaland & Drizzy Drake. Despite throwing […]
Video: Drake – Worst Behaviour [@drake]
Last night, our staffer Lauren M. caught Drake for his “Would You Like A Tour” stop in Dallas. The first thing she openly noted was how awkward it seemed for a lame person to get famous and stay that way. Well, that lame guy has forever been Drake and he’s not afraid of it. So, […]
Hear A Drake-Less Version Of Sampha’s “Too Much” [@sampha_]
If you ever needed a Lloyd Dobler 2013 moment (and if you don’t know who Lloyd Dobler is, then shame on you), then this is it. “Too Much” by Drake was a perfectly welcomed track on his Nothing Was The Same album, dishing on family members who’ve seemed distant and his own rise to stardom […]
James Blake Gives Us A Remix Of Drake’s “Come Thru” [@drake @jamesblake]
If you weren’t on Facebook playing the “Giraffe Riddle” then you may have spotted a post from James Blake himself tagged “Come Thru Version”. Was it a remix? A cover? A hybrid of both? Well, true to Blake’s nature it’s a remix and a damn good one at that. Think Drake rapping around a carefully […]
Why The Idea Of Competition Means Future & Drake Can’t Exactly Get Along [@drake @1future]
In 2009, Drake openly said on So Far Gone‘s “Successful”, “Diss me and you’ll never hear a reply for it.” That sentiment is mostly true, save for his subtle jabs at some of his sternest detractors and of course the entire Common fiasco. Most of his barbs however haven’t been placed on wax but rather […]
To Drake & The Chopstars, Choppin’ Ain’t The Same [@ogronc @candlestickem @slimk4]
Since their initial bond forged a few years ago, Drake has given OG Ron C & The Chopstars his blessing to give any release of his the chop not slop treatment. Thank Drizzy’s love of F-Action mixtapes for that. Choppin’ Ain’t The Same marks yet another high watermark in the partnership as much like 2011′s […]
The Morning Funk: The Isley Brothers – Groove With You
In high school, I loved what Mos Def did with The Isley Brothers’ “Groove With You”. Back when you used to make playlists and burn mix CDs, every slow jam mix I had somehow had Mos Def’s “Beauty In The Dark” cover of The Isleys on it. There was no doubt about how much I […]
Let’s Continue #DrakeWeek With Elliott Wilson’s #CRWN Interview [@drake @elliottwilson]
With an unbelievable promo roll involving ESPN, late night television and more, Drake’s pretty much been everywhere this week. Sunday night, he was at NYU sitting down with Elliott Wilson discussing a myriad of topics including the Kendrick Lamar verse from “Control” that mentions him personally. Of all the rappers who were mentioned directly on […]
