ALIFE Sessions w/ Drake [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

In 2010, Drizzy came through the ALIFE courtyard on the eve of his album release to celebrate the “most important day of his life. Backed by A-Trak, Drake performed in front of a capacity crowd, introducing the audience to select tracks from his album, Thank Me Later. Three years later the Toronto M.C. returned to the courtyard; this time with multiple platinum records and countless awards and accolades under his belt. He opened by once again by reminiscing about the time spent at the Lower Eastside establishment, and thanking everyone for their support. Guests jockeyed for position within the courtyard, while neighbors watched from windows and fire escapes, as Drake proceeded to rock the crowd from the stage to the rooftop…literally. G.O.O.D. Music’s Travi$ Scott joined in, performing “Upper Echelon” from his Owl Pharaoh EP, while Raekwon supported Drake on “WuTang Forever,” and the blessed the crowd with “C.R.E.A.M.” The walls of the courtyard, which usually showcase a unique theme for each event, displayed an archive of Sessions past, featuring a custom piece done by graffiti legend Cope2 (more on this soon). Today, Nothing Was The Same enters the U.S. charts at number 1, selling more than 600,000 units. Congratulations to Drake and the entire OVO team.

Cam’ron Speaks On Responding To Jay-Z’s “Pound Cake” Verse [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

Jay Z will forever be the master of throwing subtle jabs in his raps. It’s usually all in the spirit of hip-hop, and not really personal. He has name dropped everyone from Stephon Marbury to Worldwide West on records, but one man who just can’t let things of this nature slide is Killa Cam. When Hov mentioned making Cam’ron a millionaire on Drake’s “Pound Cake” record, Harlem’s own wasted little time in replying to the track. On a freestyle over Jodeci’s “Come and Talk Me,” he said he was simply getting the facts straight. Jay Z first rapped: “I done made more millionaires than the Lotto did/Dame made millions//Biggs [Burke] made million/Kanye made millions, Just made millions/Lyor made millions/Cam made millions.” Cam’s Response: “She said Jay made you a millionaire and looked me in the eyes/Said cake, cake, cake, got that from the pies / We made each other millions, that was my reply / But had a mill before I met him, baby, that ain’t no lie/See he named some Harlem cats and homie from the Chi/but my thing is he ain’t name nobody from the Stuy” via Miss Info

P.R. 0 Comments

Pusha discusses growing up, dealing drugs, how he came to rap and how far he’s come. My Name is My Name might seem like a rather obvious statement and dubious title for a record, but after checking out the first in a series of video “testimonials” (this one is called “A Name I Call Myself”), the origin becomes infinitely clearer. Check out the new Orson Whales & Kris Ex directed clip on that Pusha T LP and look for the record, which features Kanye West, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz and more, on October 8th. It’s currently up for preorder at iTunes with a free download of the new track “Nosetalgia” featuring the homie Kendrick Lamar.
