Spin the new Drake single “War.” There are strong Grime textures from across the pond how Drizzy raps in this song and the music accompanies a cool video of Drake on a ski trip. Further, Drake reported “EL KUUMBA,” a mixtape by Oliver El-Khatib in collaboration with the Japanese incense company Kuumba International.

DJ Khaled - For Free featuring Drake /  by Alex Young

"Have the Drake vocals arrived yet?" Yes.

You heard this question frequently from DJ Khaled on his Snapchat. The inquisitive phrase has been a major key in promoting the DJ's new song with Toronto and October's Very Own, Drake. Called "For Free," surely DJ Khaled anticipates the song to hit anthem status, and it comes as the first single off his upcoming Major Key album - release date to be announced. Listen below.

Mr. Contemporary, better known as Drake, rallies his efforts around his upcoming album, Views From The 6, which is set to release April 16. 

Until the album becomes available, fans can feast on two new songs from Drizzy, reported as "throw aways," or leaks, by The6Track.com. 

Drake partners with frequent collaborator Popcaan on "Controlla," a song that could stand in comparison to "Work" or any of the rapper's other dancehall tracks. The second of the two is "These Days," a cover of a song by Nico and written by Jackson Browne in the mid-1960s.

Be on the lookout for official releases from Drake and his OVO camp on the road to Views From The 6's April 16 launch.

Drake and Rick Ross - Empire (Prod. by Justice League) /  by Alex Young

Back in 2011, before October's Very Own reigned supreme and before there was a 6 god, Drake worked on a joint mixtape with Miami, Fla.'s very own Rick Ross.

The two rappers joined around the time Drake's slogan, "Y.O.L.O," was made popular by his hit song, "Motto." So, Drake and Ross deemed it appropriate to name their tape YOLO, short for "You Only Live Once."

Time passed, songs and hit albums were made by both parties, but the YOLO project never saw the light of day for any number of reasons, one being Rick Ross' health. However, today, one of the songs included in the mixtape has surfaced. Titled "Empire" and produced by Justice League, the song will appear on J.U.S.T.I.C.E. For All, Justice League's upcoming 13-song LP featuring Future, Wale, Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Rick Ross, and more.
