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.

1 LOVE T.O. is proud to be the first to release David Matisse’s (of Keys N Krates), newest project entitled “Short Days. Long Nights.” (a piano soundtrack). If you haven’t been keeping up with his music, make sure you watch the video for “Monster” and “Kilo” to see what all the hype is about.
“My inspiration is a mosaic of older artists like Roger Troutman, Curtis Mayfield and Herbie Hancock, blended with newer artists like James Blake, Baths and Pretty lights” – David Matisse
