Via NR. J. Cole addresses being called “the new Drake” by Sarah Taylor on MuchMusic when he was in town for the Jay concert. Funny.
“It’s nothing you can do about those comparisons… I know it comes from a place where people don’t really know. It’s one of those things where they think “this guy reminds me of XYZ” because that’s the hot guy that’s on their mind right now. I remember a couple of years ago, people was saying Lupe cuz that’s who they was hearing about.
Once people get into the music, it’s like “oh wait, no he’s not.” But like I always say, he’s talented so it’s not a diss really. It’s all good. But the Toronto joint was crazy, ha. She said it, I was like [-__-]. She didn’t mean anything by it. [Interviewer: It’s kinda funny how the blogs ran with it.] Yeah, it was a real expression… I can’t believe they caught that on-camera.”

“From Cards, Dice to Life.. These are The Gambling Stories.” Bishop Brigante talks with Busta Rhymes right hand man Spliff Star about how he took on Bad Boy’s roster in some cee-lo and how, like Crooked I, he also lost a chain.. But how did he lose his? – TGM
We finally get to hear from MoSS! E sets it up best:
In Episode #13 the world is introduced to super-producer MoSS. Admittedly an elusive cat, MoSS appears w/ Eternia on FLOW 93.5 FM in Toronto to debut the world premiere of a song from “AT LAST”. DJ Premier, Termanology & Statik Selektah speak on why MoSS is that dude, & MoSS gets excited over some banned vinyl from Chile. Just another day in the studio…
In the upcoming months, eternia will release steady video & audio leaks leading up to the highly anticipated release of eternia & MoSS’s debut album, “AT LAST”. Follow them as they shop for a record deal, promote the album, and countdown to the release date. And you just never know what special guests may pop up… stay tuned! -eternia
Killawatt Records was born of necessity and chance; when Red1 ventured to release a project independent of the influential Rascalz crew, he was offered the opportunity to start his own label but retain major label distribution. April 2004 saw the creation of one of Canada’s most innovative and visionary musical projects: Killawatt Records.
Gathering talent from all coasts of Canada, Killawatt is as much a mentorship initiative as it is a label; “I had learned so much as part of the Rascalz,” explains Red, “so many highs and lows, mistakes that young artists make again and again that I felt I could probably help some up-and-coming artists avoid those same pitfalls.”
Honestly, getting persucted for not going “off the top” is so played out. Historically speaking the “freestyle” started as a written expression anyways. Via NR!
And if you missed it (apparently we did), the video of Drake kickin’ a verse from Thank Me Later at his b-day party in Houston is below the jump!
