Always the dopest when Mike WiLL is involved. One of the hottest producers out there, the visuals for his ‘Drinks on Us’ have finally arrived. The dark and wild video features cameos from Miley Cyrus, Wale, French Montana, and Juicy J.
Peep it below!
This morning on my way to work, I was on a Fetty Wap kick, so I thought I’d share with you the songs I had playing. And no, one was not ‘Trap Queen.’ Sort of over that song. #thankyouradio
And his debut album is set to drop September 25! The man definitely has put out some bangers, so I’m looking forward to it.
Enjoy the tracks below as your Friday evening continues. 🙂
Off to Huntington Beach to celebrate my friend Sydney’s birthday! Have a great weekend, yinz!
Not sure what happened – this was supposed to have posted on Monday! Weird. Well, here it is anyways because I can’t let a post about Drake slip away.
Got rich off a mixtape, got rich off a mixtape. But serious. Released by complete surprise to fans, Drake’s mixtape ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ has gone platinum! In jut a little over 10 days of its release, Drake had already moved 624,000 units of the tape.
In a great explanation and breakdown of how it hit platinum, his official fan site WordOnRoad broke it down:
“With the new ‘Sales + Steaming’ system, ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ was already platinum back in March. However, this week the mixtape sold 7,985 units putting it a total of about 1,006,000 units sold. This makes it platinum based off of strictly sales and no streaming.”
Congrats again to Drake and the whole OVO team for putting together, yet again, another quality piece of work. Really looking forward to Views from the 6!
After 16 years, Dr. Dre is back with the highly-anticipated album Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre, and is streaming exclusively on Apple Music. Make sure your iOS/iTunes is the most recent version to listen. 🙂
The 16 tracks feature Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Ice Cube, Xzibit, and more. It is available for purchase at midnight.

Tonight was the final night of Drake’s annual OVO Fest, and I don’t even have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). I am just MO (Missing Out), and I’m super bummed about it. I’ve received a handful of messages, again (love it!), from friends asking about my sadness of missing out. ‘They knowww, they know, they know.’ Drake reference. But that’s why I’m thankful for social media – one of the reasons.
PARTYNEXTDOOR kicked off the show, followed by Drake, and his set was lit from the beginning. He (obviously) started with his two response tracks to Meek Mill – first ‘Charged Up’ then ‘Back To Back.’ Now during these two performances, memes of Meek Mill were scrolling in the background. Quite the aggressive tone to start the evening. He also gave a shout out to Meek saying that ‘he did this to himself,’ before giving him a ‘Participation Award’ for his pretty weak attempt at a diss track.
Skepta, Future, KANYE WEST, Travi$ Scott, Big Sean, AND Pharrell all performed throughout Drake’s set, as well! I mean. I have to go next year. I tell myself this every year, but really, I must be in attendance in 2016. It’s only right.
Drake closed out the show with ‘Know Yourself,’ brought out a bunch of woes, and officially ended the 6th annual OVO Fest with an encore of ‘Back To Back.’
If Meek tries to do anything else at this point, it will just be ‘zzzzz.’ But if it means Drake will continue to come out with more music before Views, then keep it coming, Meek!
Complex compiled a great list of happenings from tonight, so I suggest you check it here if you want to get all of the details – videos and pictures! Alright, time for bed. Night, yinz!
Okay. So thank you to Parker for sending this along…. Meek Mill has finally responsed to the TWO tracks Drake has put out. Link here.
And Drake’s response to it is here… via Instagram.
While the song is quite repetitive, I do like it. The very opening sound reminded me immediately of Drake’s ‘Houstatlantavegas’ from So Far Gone, my favorite Drake mixtape and probably body of work he’s done. If you’re a Drake fan, you’ll catch the resemblance. The whole song actually is very Drake-esque with regards to the beat and overall sound. The track was actually debuted during Drake’s first episode of his OVO Sound Radio show earlier this month.
Now I don’t know much about Roy Wood$ but from some quick research he is another Toronto native and can both rap and sing. Hmmm, sounds like another Toronto native we know… Drake 🙂 And he’s only 19! He is the newest signee to OVO Sound.
Listen below – what do you think?
I mean… just four days after dropping the diss song, ‘Charged Up,’ Drake is back with another track aimed at Weak Mill. Sorry… Meek Mill. I woke up to a handful of messages with the link to this song – thank you to those who were looking out! I immediately played the track at 7:00am while lying in my bed and loved every second of it.
“Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers / You gettin’ bodied by a singin’ n***a.” #dead
“You love her then you gotta get a world tour / Is that a world tour or your girl’s tour?” #reallydead (in reference to Nicki Minaj – Meek Mill is currently on her tour)
This is one of the reasons why I love rap and hip-hop so much. I believe it’s the truest genre of music – what other genre do you know that has artists go back and forth with essentially real time tracks? And to think this all started from a Tweet! Thank you, Meek. You calling out Drake for having an alleged ‘ghostwriter’ has only made him more of a legend. How I wish I was going to OVO Fest this weekend!
It’s here! Abel is on fire in this vid… literally. Thanks to Complex Music, click below to watch the visuals via Apple Music. Can’t wait til Beauty Behind the Madness, dropping August 28.
