Drake – “5am in Toronto”
I must confess I wasn’t really feeling “Started From The Bottom.” I mean, the guy who brought us Take Care is capable of so much more than just another song about making it from nothing. I’ve been worrying about his upcoming album and if it was all just going to sound like its first single, but I have no doubts anymore. Drake is still very much a heavyweight in the game. “5am In Toronto” takes a few shots at Chris Brown:
“A lot of n***as PR stuntin’ like that’s the movement/And I’m the only n***a still known for the music”
The lyric above is allegedly a shot at Chris Brown being more relevant in the tabloids than in the hip hop game. Regardless of any disses, the new track (prod. Boi-1da & Vinylz) is dope.

Music Video: Drake – “Started From The Bottom”
Drake released the music video to his latest single “Started From The Bottom” on Grammy night. Drake won Best Rap Album of the year at the Grammys for Take Care. In his new visual, the Canadian rapper and actor plays a store clerk at a supermarket and ends up partying with his friends at a bowling ally and private jet towards the end. “Started From The Bottom” will be featured on Drake’s upcoming album, Nothing Was the Same. You can watch the music video in its entirety below and purchase the single on iTunes here.

Drake- “Started From The Bottom”
Drake dropped the first single from his next album a bit early for us. Haven’t heard a single from Drake in a bit, but Drizzy brings us a dope track that is sure to get people talking about him again. The beat and hook of “Started From The Bottom” (produced by Mike Zombie) goes hard, contrasting sharply with the softer Drake we heard on Take Care. Check it out below and see what you think.

Drake- “Look What You’ve Done” Take Care (R.I.P To Drake’s Grandmother)
“…my father living in Memphis now he can’t come this way,
Over some minor charges and child support that just wasn’t paid.
Damn, boo-hoo, sad story, black american dad story”
As you may already know, Drake’s sophomore album Take Care leaked on Sunday night. The album exceeded all my expectations; it really is amazing. I highly recommend pre-ordering it. One of my favorite songs on the album is “Look What You’ve Done”. This song is a dedication to his family, and how they helped him become who he is today. The instrumental is merely piano music with no drums or beat, which makes the song very emotional and beautiful. On the first verse of the track, Drake talks about his mother and their relationship, including an explanation of a fight they had. The second verse is dedicated to his uncle (or aunt, we still don’t know for sure); he talks about how he encouraged Drake to always follow his dreams. The song ends with either his mother or grandma talking about him (there is much debate about this across the internet, but I think it’s his grandmother) This is one of the realest songs you’ll hear in hip-hop; Drake shows us once again how great he is at connecting emotions to his music.

At the end of this song there’s a voicemail from Drake’s Grandmother that says.
Hi Aubrey, I’m here sitting with my son having a little talk
And he knows how to get in touch with you now
To let you know how grateful I am for your help
In keeping me in this, in this comfortable place
All I can say, Aubrey, is I remember the good times we had together
And the times I used to look after you
And I still have wonderful feelings about that
So God bless you, and I hope I’ll see you…

Aaliyah feat. Drake- “Enough Said”
It has been over a decade since the death of the talented musician, Aaliyah and just today one of Aaliyah’s biggest fans dropped a collaboration track with her over on his blog. Drake has showed his interest in Aaliyah’s music and he has talked about being featured on one of her newer tracks in the past. The beat isn’t anything special, but Drake’s verse is worth while. I don’t know how past Aaliyah fans will feel about this one, but Drake definitely delivered. 40 handled the production on this joint. Listen to “Enough Said” below.
