Stevie Wonder will appear on Drake’s next album, “Take Care,” the rapper revealed exclusively to MuchMusic.
Speaking with RapCity host T-Rexxx after his headlining OVO (October’s Very Own) Festival, which featured appearances by Wonder, as well as Lil Wayne, Nas, J. Cole, Rick Ross, and The Weeknd, Drake explained how he managed to book the 61-year-old musical legend for his show.
“Stevie Wonder is a very close friend of mine. I’m honored to call him a friend, someone who embraced me very early in this music business,” he said. “This is an exclusive right here, because it’s MuchMusic, and we’re Canadian: Stevie Wonder is actually on ‘Take Care.’”
According to Drake, Wonder has been highly involved in the making of his new album.
“He helped me out with a lot of the music, just came and sat with me, listened to my music, told me where I could add a couple things to make it more sonically appealing, and not only that but we actually are writing together, which is an incredible experience.”
Given their close relationship, securing the 22-Grammy-Award-winning artist for OVO Fest was easy.
“So I hit him, asked him to come by, and with no hesitation he hit me back like “I will be there.” Not only that, but he was supposed to do two songs and he did like six,” Drake said. “It was incredible.”
“Take Care,” the follow up to his 2010 debut, “Thank Me Later,” is set for release on October 24.

Every Sunday until his album drops, J. Cole will release something new for his fans! How amazing is that? Let's be real, J. Cole is our generations 2Pac. I've always said it, and these songs just proves me right. If you're sleeping on J. Cole, you better wake up. This man is AMAZING! Probably the best rapper out right now. If you're a new J. Cole fan, I recommend you download & listen to his mixtapes. Get familiar with him before September 27 comes.... the day he takes over the world.

What do you think of J. Cole? Do you think he's our generations 2Pac like I said, or do you compare him to another great rapper?

"Headlines" is the first official single from Drake's sophomore album "Take Care", due October 24. Honestly, can Drake do wrong? This song is HOT! Even though I prefer "Marvin's Room", this song is the next best thing. I'm already excited for "Take Care", and this song makes me 100x more excited! What do you think of Drake’s new single? Do you like it better than "Marvin's Room"?

Diggy Simmons - Copy, Paste (Official Music Video)
0 comments Posted by Janessa at 7/30/2011 10:58:00 PMI've been waiting on this video to premiere all summer and it finally did yesterday. And honestly, I think it was worth the wait. When I first heard the song, I was like "WTF! This is stupid." Seriously. I didn't like it one bit. But I kept it on replay because I wanted to like it. I wanted it to grow on me and after the 10th time listening to it, I was obsessed with it. After listening to his mixtapes, I think Diggy is probably one of the best rappers out right now. I don't care if he's 16 or 40, he can rap. Sure, he's no Kanye or Jay Z, but in due time I'm sure he'll be one of the biggest rappers ever. You gotta start somewhere, right? Back to the video, when I first saw it on 106 & Park I was completely speechless. I didn't know what to think at first. I didn't have an opinion on it at all. Then about and hour later I watched it on YouTube and I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT! Ommmggggg! This has to be the hottest video of the summer! It fits the song really well and I honestly don't know what else to say about it besides it's amazing. It deserves to be #1 on 106 & Park. Hell, it deserves a Grammy. I honestly didn't think this video would be this good. I was definitely surprised. All I can say is, if you don't like Diggy or the video, you're fuckin' dumb.
So. Starting now the blog will be officially back up. I'm going to do it a little different now though. It's mostly just going to be me review songs and videos and other stuff. I will have downloads, but mostly it'll be reviews.
