In the 'Heat of The Moment' Drake drops three new tracks in time for "cuffing season".


In celebration of his 28th birthday, and in time for "cuffing season", Drake treats his fans to some new music by dropping not one, but three new tracks.

Up first is the beautifully 40-produced 'Heat of the Moment' where Drake gets his R&B on, big time! Definitely one for the ladies, I've played it ten times over already!

Then we've got the cruddy Boi-1da and Syk Sense produced '6 God'. This one will Definately be on every guy's whip playlist by the week is out!

Last but not least, the balance of the pack is the one everyone will relate to, 'How Bout Now', featuring Boi-1da and Jordan Evans. Not as sexy as 'Heat of the Moment', but it samples Jodeci's 1993 track 'My Heart Belongs to U' which almost knocks it of the top of my ranking order!

The rapper is currently gearing up to release his fourth album, Views From the 6 next year. While you wait, possible as eagerly and impatiently as me, listen to and fall in love with Drake's spanking new cuts below.

Drake finally liberates his hotly anticipated Hit-Boy produced track 'Trophies'.



Following the release of his 'We Made It' remix a few days ago, Drake drops the full edition of his hotly anticipated track, 'Trophies'. Produced by Hit-Boy, the track was first previewed back in October at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It was also supposed to be featured on his very successfully third studio album, Nothing Was The Same, but it unfortunately didn't make the cut!

Drake drops his remix of Soulja Boy's "The King" track 'We Made It'.



Following his "New Years Eve Anthems on deck" Tweet earlier today, Drake is sure set on ending his 2013 with a bang. To celebrate the end of the year the rapper is set to shower his fans with some new records before the year is out. Up first is his remix of Soulja Boy's track 'We Made It'.

Attached to his tweet the Soulja featuring track's title couldn't be more suited for the reflective season. Without a shadow of a doubt Drizzy has definitely had a successful 2013 and has "made it" a great one musically for us!

Drake's team unleash Beyoncés 'Mine' video, but not in top quality!



If you haven't yet seen the visuals from Beyoncés new album, you must be living in a cave. To promote the track he features on Drake's blogging team unleashed the full video for those who haven't yet seen the contrasting clip.

Directed by Pierre Debusschere, Bey channels her inner Virgin Mary until Drizzy appears and the Noah “40″ Shebib production becomes more upbeat and contemporary with desert sands, flames, darkness and floating. The video isn't the best quality, as it seems like it's been ripped from the album, but at least its up all the same!

Beyonce surprises fans worldwide by releasing an unpredicted digital-only self-titled album.


Friday 13th is deemed to be an unlucky date. Friday 13th in the year 2013, may well be even more unlucky, but for Beyoncé fans worldwide today is the best and luckiest day ever. Currently on her world tour the global mega-star fifth studio album was expected to drop sometime next year. However, the unexpected happened this morning when it appeared on iTunes this morning.

Self-titled the album features 14 songs and 17 videos and is currently only available via download. The move was so random Apple didn't even know!

Speaking on what they've described as "an unprecedented strategic move", the company stated that the gorilla tactic allows Bey "to deliver music and visual content directly to her fans when she wants to and how she wants to, with no filter".

Revealing her reasons behind the unpredicted release the star said:

I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it (before). I'm bored with that!

Running her own show by managing herself the "grown woman" went on to say;

I feel like I'm able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and (for it to be) from me to my fans.

Drake's third studio "Nothing Was The Same" goes platinum just under two months of its release.



It hasn't even been two months since the release of Drake's third studio album Nothing Was The Same and it's already sold a million copies and become platinum certified. Now that's super fast! According to Hits Daily Double, the LP sold approximately 38,274 copies this week, pushing it over the 1 million bench mark.

Kendrick Lamar disses Drake in a snippet of his BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher.



As Drake puts one bit of beef to rest, another is put in the oven! Fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar has responded to Drake's CRWN interview with Rap Radar founder Elliott Wilson.

In the tail end of the interview (watch it below) Drake is asked about Kendrick's 'Control' verse Drake of doesn't say anything particularly bad to say about the artist, but he does say his only real competition is Kanye West.

Migos finally drop the highly anticipated video for 'Versace'.



Following the success and popularity of their tack rap duo Migos debut the hotly anticipated video for their track 'Versace'. Directed by Gabriel Hart, the clip sees the pair living it up dressed from head to toe in Versace, in a Versace furnished house with Versace party girls! You know just to make sure that the 'Versace, Versace' line is fully lived up to!

One thing they forgot though is Drake. I'm pretty sure everyone was looking forward to seeing the guy who put the track on the map in the video, but there's a no-show! Maybe they're holding out for a huge remix video to boost they're longevity! I guess time will tell!

For now watch the video below.

Sampling the much-loved crew's 1997 track 'It's Yourz', Drizzy continues to fulfil his dream of making an R&B album by singing over the track;

Yeah, this shit belong to nobody/ It’s yours

So far there have been mixed reviews about the track, as many were probably expecting a hardcore track, and not soppy lines such as, "I just love when I'm with you!" Basically, the hardcore hip-hop fans and guys loath it while the ladies love it, you can't have it both ways I guess!
