Drake Signs w/ Young Money
For months now, since the release of his So Far Gone mixtape, Drake has been the center of attention, garnering accolades as the next big hip hop star from fans and peers alike. During this time span, Drake has remained independent... until now as MTV reports he has signed with Lil' Wayne's Young Money label with Universal Republic distribution. In the video above, which well documents the story and interviews some elite peers in the game, Drake also admits that you have to have major label distribution to push your records to another level. With that locked up now, and the continued success of "Best I Ever Had", Drake is looking to make a strong splash with his debut LP, Thank Me Later, due out later this year. Check out Drake's blog for some screens of the Kanye West-directed video for "Best I Ever Had". Congrats 2 the Toronto native.
Down below, some new audio and video from the rest of the day, starting out with a Mic Terror / Matthew Santos collabo that, quite frankly, let me down. I was expecting more Santos than there is and it's almost like he's non-existant. Is it just him on the background vocals? While I'm diggin' Mic Terror's style and delivery throughout, I'm not really up on the song's content and lyrics. I was hoping for an "American Terrorist" or "Superstar" type track when I peeped the artists and title but was treated with a 180.
The notable video is the latest episode of Cons TV which features Consequence's 1st single off his upcoming, renamed LP, Cons TV, "Whatever U Want" f/ Kanye West & John Legend. The latter is in the video. Also included is NEW content from Young Chris (shouts 2 BOBO), Cam'Ron (shouts 2 Legend), and Obie Trice. Finally, peep some detailed pics at the NEW Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneakers HERE. Enjoy!

i don't know who Mic Terror is or why he feels he can release a track using my name and vocals without my consent. that's just dirty. they even spelled my name wrong at first adding insult to injury. i never even heard the track until it was released, and i would never have signed off on that shit. two thumbs way down. -Matthew Santos

Can you please remove the Mic Terror track asap? It is not a legit collaboration with Matthew Santos and should not be circulated and posted on your blog. Thanks.
