1da‘s my dude!!! Lol @ “it’s going pretty good” and “maybe, I dunno”.
Boi-1da has been in the studio with Drake finishing his sophomore album Take Care, due October 24. The hitmaker behind “Best I Ever Had” and “Forever” hit the carpet with his family at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards before being honored as Songwriter of the Year.
While he remained tight lipped about details surrounding the highly-anticipated project, he did describe how the Young Money star has evolved as an artist. “He was already extraordinary. I just think he’s grown as a lyricist and become a better rapper, although he was a great rapper before,” the Canadian producer told Rap-Up TV. “Everything just sounds better. He’s evolved as an artist.”
He also shared what it’s been like to see his friend go from grinding in their rat-infested studio to the top of the charts.
“Arizona Bay” featuring Franz Thomas is the latest diverse, powerful and out of the box assault from the FREEDOM WRITERS collective. It touches on the historical myths of Freedom and Democracy and how they are perpetuated in today’s climate. Thought provoking, nonpartisan and often shocking, The Freedom Writers deliver an intricate, and bold rhyme pattern that is backed by an eerie soundtrack creating the perfect blend courtesy of “FW” colleague, producer and engineer Big Sproxx.
Whether it’s war, 9-11, Haiti, Hurricane Katrina, The G20, Police Brutality, Government deception, slavery, poverty, the Prison and Judicial systems, the media or the fluctuating price of oil, there is no topic “too touchy” for the Freedom Writers to expose in “Arizona Bay”.
