Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne – Motivation

Jimmy in the wheelchair signs!

HOBviously, this was going to happen.

Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi AKA Audrey Graham (real name) AKA Drake on the radio, Mr. Best I Ever Had is signing with Young Money Entertainment founded by Lil’ Weezy.

How did we not know this was going to happen? They’ve been collaborating together since the beginning… Lil’ Wayne even had Drake perform with him at shows, but the two are finally closing the deal.

Word on the street is that Drake turned town a $2 million offer from Atlantic Records because Lil Wayne doubled THAT. Yeah $4 million just to sign him.

Drake’s debut album “Thank Me Later” is slated for a late 2009 release. Look out for guest appearances by Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne and Jay-Z on this album.

Let the beat build…

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgPlKJtWpQ8]

It’s a play off of Lil’ Wayne’s “Let the Beat Build…” but New York University student Nyle portrayed his rendition of the song that literally built off of one beat. The vocals are amazing and I love the variety of instruments and the people included in the video. The video was done in one take with the audio being recorded simultaneously with the film. I heard that it took them about forty tries or so but still can you imagine how hard that would be?

And most of all I love this song because it reminds me of late night Jack in the Box runs with my friends and Erik house.

Hip Hop Artist on the Rise

Most people know him as Jimmy from Degrassi or Jimmy in the wheelchair [from Degrassi] but Canadian actor Aubrey Graham is creating a new name for himself these days as “Drake.” He’s 22 and he’s at his prime for becoming the next breakout hip hop artist.

He has yet to be picked up by a record label but that hasn’t stopped him from putting out several mixtapes but he is talking with several labels. He is Lil’ Wayne’s protégé, tourmate and collaborative partner. Drake’s name has been thrown out all over New York but pretty soon his buzz will be widespread.

Heads up. Just someone to look out for.

Listen to him here
