Keep your name in the headlines Mr. Drizzy, because you know everyone is listening. Today two new Drake songs have hit the 'net, just days after his "Can I" record leaked. The first, "Go Out Tonight" is a R&B track reminiscent of the Torontonian's "Houstatlantavegas" sound, while "On A Wave" features sultry Tinashe on a melodious honest track. With all the Drake related news and Houston Appreciation Weekend in full swing, let's hope Views From The 6 is prepping for launch shortly. Enjoy the new new below.

Drake- My Side /
So Drake kills the Coachella stage, makes out with Madonna, and releases "My Side," which is the bonus track to If You're Reading This It's Too Late. Drizzy season is in full swing and will continue to be at least until the official release of the LP on April 21st. Check out the late night vibes below. Thanks Aubrey.
October's Very Own x Roots Canada 2015 Varsity Jacket /
Drake's October's Very Own x Roots Canada varsity jackets are as highly anticipated as his music is. OVO and Roots continuously deliver a clean, hip hop elegance to the classic varsity jacket silhouette. 2015 sees more of the same as the two Toronto parties present a piece donned in black, made in Canada, and handcrafted with 100% bison leather. The contrasting trims on the cuffs, neck, and bottom of the jacket feature 100% Merino Wool. There is a snap front closure, consistent with the varsity's classical design, and 100% acetate inner lining. For locals where to buy is OVO's flagship store on Saturday, February 28th at 12pm, $878; I should also mention there are only 50 available (be on time!). Those of us not in Toronto we will have to wait for the online release at a later date. Looks are available in the gallery above.
'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' - Drake (Mixtape) /
Last night Drake took us all by surprise and released his mixtape, If You're Reading This It's Too Late via Twitter just before midnight. It's release came on the 6th anniversary of his iconic So Far Gone tape and hours after he released his short film "Jungle". It is clear the latest projects are significant to Drizzy as "Jungle" is very intimate and reflective, while the new mixtape comes with a handwritten note thanking a myriad of people from Madonna, Chief Keef, the Toronto Raptors organization, his OVO crew, and personal friends.
Whether If You're Reading This It's Too Late is an album or mixtape is still unconfirmed and not necessarily important other than logistically, but it's presence on iTunes suggests album and Drake's using of the word "tape" in his letter obviously suggests mixtape. Regardless, this project has us salivating for what is to come on his forthcoming album Views From The 6. IYRTITL features contributions from PARTYNEXTDOOR, Lil Wayne, Travi$ Scott, Boi-1da on production, and many more. You can purchase If You're Reading This It's Too Late in entirety here.
Watch Drake's Short Film "Jungle" /
This morning via OVO's website, Drake unleashed his short film, "Jungle". The 14 minute film features an introspective aspect as there is minimal talking, but shows Drizzy returning to his native Toronto, pondering his life to this point, and catching up with his friends. Home videos of Drake are also sprinkled throughout highlighting how far he has come creatively and personally. Snippets of new music provide an unfair tease around the six minute mark and in the credits. Enjoy "Jungle" below.
