For Drake, the 16-track collab project marks his second new album of the year following the release of the “Summer Games”-y (and 21-featuring) Honestly, Nevermind in June. 21, meanwhile, last unveiled a project back in May with the Spiral: From the Book of Saw […]

Drake surprised fans on Thursday night with his seventh studio album Honestly, Nevermind, less than a year after his landmark Certified Lover Boy record.  The LP runs 14 songs and clocks in at a breezy (for Drizzy) 52 and a half minutes. As far as producers the 6 God tapped this time, among the usual suspects […]

Noah “40” Shebib, the man behind some of hip hop’s biggest hits, says you don’t need “fancy” equipment to create good music.

If Drake is hip-hop’s Batman, Noah “40” Shebib is Alfred. He may seem like an unassuming member of the OVO camp, but in actuality, he’s one of the creative geniuses that helps keep the collective afloat and provides comfort for Drake after nights of heated battles. So, it only made sense that Pusha-T would try to […]

Drake‘s So Far Gone tape turns 10 years young Wednesday, an occasion the OVO co-founder is marking with an extended retrospective message to those crucial to the project’s rise to ubiquity. Additionally, Drake has announced the 18-track project’s imminent availability on all streaming platforms. “I will never forget anybody involved in this journey even if […]

Drake and Pusha-T have a longstanding beef that has yet to be squashed, but it looked like things reached new pettiness levels during Camp Flog Gnaw, where the words “Fuck Drake” appeared on the screen during Push’s Saturday performance. However, Push took to Twitter to discuss the incident, saying that he didn’t decide to project […]
