New Drake “You Know, You Know”. Produced by Mr. West.

Was kinda hoping a tagless version would drop for this before posting it cuz it’s sooo sick but ah well. Can’t believe this isn’t on the album tho.. I guess the sign of a great artist that’s about to drop an album is there always ends up being a song not on it that makes you scratch your head. Hopefully this sees life as a bonus cut on iTunes or an import (do they still do UK, Japanese versions of albums anymore??).

The LIFE Files chops it up with Drizzy about the album leak and more.

Personally I think it sucks to be an artists in 2010. You’re damned if you flat out say you’re disappointed that your project got leaked (cuz it’s perceived as a sign of weakness) and damned if you don’t because now you gotta lie to yourself and act like all that work you put in meant nothing to you.

The truth is: no artist with a sense of pride and integrity can invest the time, heart and passion it takes to make a great album without caring that it was released without their approval. It just doesn’t correlate with the basic human idea of putting sincere effort into something you believe in and naturally wanting that thing to be put out on your own terms. I mean if that was the case, an artist would simply say ‘fuck an album’ and release random dope songs and free mixtapes online.

On one side we want artists to musically give us everything they have; but on the flip side we don’t want them to care that, after giving us all they had, some idiot decided to capitalize on their hard work for his or her’s own selfish moment of gratification.

It’s not just about the money lost; and it’s not about the reality of the free digital world; it’s about some irrelevant nobody coming along and undermining all that hard work and effort.

Leakers are bottom-feeders; straight-up.

And anyone that doesn’t see that has never worked an honest day in their life.

Back by popular demand, here is Andreena Mill‘s Ready To Fly mixtape in all its DJ Pack glory. Apparently DJs from across the country got to know Andreena’s music a little better over Stylus weekend and needed to get caught up with what they’ve been missing. I don’t think we had the blog when this dropped either so it’s an honour to post the tape which features Andreena classics like “You & Tomorrow”, “Picture Perfect”, “Erased” and “Never Be The Same” (not to mention some DIRTY dubs like “1 In A Million”) and the list goes on.

Shouts to Lissa Monet who Andreena did the original tape with. This DJ Pack version has none of Lissa’s blends though. Just straight tracks ready for any DJ or fan to play. Files are only 128kbps though, so for higher quality you’ll have to hit up Miss Mill on Twitter. For a higher quality DJ Pack of “Picture Perfect” though (as well as her latest joint “Real Love”), see below.

Full mixtape tracklist under the hood.
