DRiiZZY DRAKE

May/June 2010 may just be Drakes best moments thus far. Well, at least as far as our eyes can see due to the fact that we have based successors on rich-fame-& bling……



R&B

Since His early days on Degrassi Aubrey Graham has been on the mind of many young ladies (18+). This 23 year old Singer, Rapper, Actor triple threat is definatly on to something!

“The way Jay and Wayne write rap, I write R&B. I don’t write lyrics down on paper,” Drake told Complexmagazine in its February/March issue, that features him on the cover. “The other day, I was in the studio with Alicia Keys, and I wrote two songs just speaking to her. I wish I could write that way for rap. With my rap songs, there’s so much of me I have to give that I don’t know if I could ever just flow. The thing is, I’m a great rapper. There’s two elements to rap: having the thoughts, and then being a great rapper. I can really rap the sh– that I write. My tone, my inflection. When I listen to myself on records, I don’t feel like I don’t belong there. When I listen to ’FOREVER,’ with three of my heroes [Eminem, Kanye West and Lil Wayne], I fit right in.”

I have been in awe with Drakes r&b since I had the oppertunity to listen to -Brand New back in 2008 it was surprisingly refreshing the question around campus is “WHO SINGS BRAND NEW?!?” – “Ya know the joint Wayne remixed” no one thought DRIZZY DRAKE would have the talent to go that route. He is now back with a R&B single (FIND YOUR LOVE) just in time for his 2010 album Thank Me Later due to be released June 15, 2010.

RAP

Drake has came far from “doing it with out one” as he put it in his single Forever is now apart of Young Money (associated with Lil Wayne aka:The Greatest Rapper Alive-Weezy F. Baby cant forget the baby) & Universal Motown. The latest issue of Billboard features Drizzy on the copy as the NEW FACE of hip-hop. On March 4, 2010, Graham released the first single from his Thank Me Later album – Over .


According to Wikipedia In March 2010 a track titled “Fall For Your Type” was leaked over the Internet. There are rumors circulating that this song will be featured on his Thank Me Lateralbum. It is also said it could be a reference track for the popular R&B artist, Jamie Fox. On March 12, 2010, a version of K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” recorded by a collective of Canadian musicians known as Young Artists for Haiti was released. Graham is featured in the song, performing a solo verse near the end of the song. On April 29, 2010, it was announced that Graham has finished Thank Me Later. According to reports, Graham announced the completion of the album to a crowd during his April 26, 2010, show at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. His camp has since confirmed that Drake was finished with the final track to the album and the next single from the album would be titled “Find Your Love” which is streaming here via Youtube. His album is said to feature: Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, T.I., The Dream, Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne & Swiss Beats. Amazing artist tag team this album is a MUST HAVE!!!!!
