(my bad: “Kill Bill” originally dropped the same time as the BFTFT mixtape, but it’s actually off his upcoming mixtape “Sleepless Nights” .. props to TOFLO!)
1da chops it up with Vibe.com about Drake’s new music for 2011, The Carter IV, working with Keri Hilson, Soulja Boy’s album sales, his favorite songs for 2010 and more.
How’s Drake’s new album coming along?
We were actually just up in New York working, Lil Wayne was in there, too. I gave him stuff for Tha Carter IV. Man, 2011 is going to be a good year for music. Drake’s in tip top shape and what’s amazed me is that lyrically he’s gotten better. He was already an outstanding lyricist but now I’m just in anticipation of what people are going to think when they hear his new music.
Do you think he’s out to prove himself more as a rapper and lyricist?
Yea, I know a lot of people had criticized him for singing, but I think he’s just coming back to show people why they fell in love with him, like ‘did you forget about me?.’ And it’s really coming out in his raps. It’s something I can’t even really explain it.
Ro’ hops on one of the sickest cuts off Black Milk’s “Album Of The Year” release.
Here’s something that I put 2 together 2 help bring in the new year. The beat was produced by Black Milk. The beat was looped from a instrumental riff @ the end of his song “How We Do” off his album “Album Of The Year”. Hope Y’all Enjoy It!!!
