There’s a lot of power in this picture.
Hip-Hop titans Jay-Z and Drake have re-teamed up to create new music. The pair’s latest studio outing is their first collaboration since 2010′s ‘Light Up’ – a cut from Drizzy’s debut album ‘Thank Me Later’.
Little is known about the motive of these fresh sessions (namely whether for Jay’s new album or Drake’s third LP ‘Nothing Was The Same’), however what is certain is that we can’t wait to hear what these two are cooking up.
As Nicki Minaj gears up to star in ‘The Other Woman’ , her ‘Young Money’ sibling Drake hit NYC hours ago to shoot scenes for the ‘Anchorman 2‘, directed by ‘Talladega Nights’ Adam McKay.
Filmed working on the comedy while in character, the Grammy winning Rap tsar hit the flick’s set after starring in Box Office smash ‘Ice Age 4′ and months before he drops his third studio album, ‘Nothing Was The Same‘- via Universal Music.

Frank Ocean stands as one of the many acts set to join Drake‘s ‘OVO Festival’ this year, named as one of the event’s performers today.
Taking place between August 4 and 5 at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, the Live Nation offering whipped fans of both stars into a frenzy when they joined Drake in releasing an ad confirming Ocean’s attendance, now available to peep below…
Hip Hop legend DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill) has praised the genre’s latest contributors this week, praising the likes of Drake, Kendrick Lamar & A$AP Rocky in an interview to push his new album ‘Bass For Your Face‘.

Peep these pics of ‘What If I Kissed You‘ lyricist Drake, out and about in his home town of Toronto with his mother hours ago.
Back home as work continues on his new album ‘Nothing Was The Same’ , the pair greeted fans as they made their way through the city- two weeks after his latest album ‘Take Care‘ was certified Platinum for sales of over 2 million units.

Just in case the Double Platinum status of his new album ‘Take Care’ wasn’t enough to put a smile on Drake‘s face this year, his fans have given even more chart induced good news to beam about.
The kind of news…that makes him one of the world’s most lucrative acts.
Drake may have thrown Rihanna under the bus in the latter part of last week, but this week has seen the ‘Practice’ MC show all kinds of love to R&B leader Beyonce in a song named ‘Girls Love Beyonce‘.
Produced by the ever impressive Noah Shebib, the honest cut will not feature on his forthcoming LP ‘Nothing Was The Same’ but will no doubt serve as a well executed buzz track for the project.
Drake’s genius below…
It goes without saying that there is no love loss between Drake and Chris Brown.
Indeed, since “that” brawl last year the pair have incessantly been pit against each other. And while Brown hasn’t dodged questions about his rival when on radio, Drizzy had maintained a silence of sorts…until now.
The Young Money maestro sat down with our friend Elliott Wilson today on East Village Radio, opening up about a number of topics including new album ‘Nothing Was The Same’, as well as his current status with the Lil Wayne empire. Most notably, though, the-26 year-old addressed the “Chris Brown issue” directly – offering up a number of explosive quotables.
His words after the jump…
As recent Hip Hop wins have shown, using the Hot 100 to determine how well a song is not always a good idea.
For, while some cuts may not sell enough week by week to score or hold Top Ten spots, they do sell enough to give the acts and labels behind much to smile about.
