Drake called in to 107.9 in Atlanta to talk with DJ Drama. The two spoke about Forever, working with Justin Timberlake and Timberland, and how he wants Andre 3000 and Sade on Thank Me Later. Drake has landed some incredible co-signs and features over the last 6 months. If he gets Sade on the album, its a wrap… Drake would at that point be beyond superstar status. Props to nahright and MissInfo for the audio and link.

Dallas Penn provides more footage from Raekwon‘s Promo Concert, which took place on the Rooftop of EMI/Capitol Records. During the concert, Raekwon performed some of the classics, and some new joints from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. This album can’t come soon enough.

Raekwon takes it to the rooftop to perform the Dr. Dre produced Catalina on top of Capitol Records. Seriously, September 8, 2009 gets closer everyday, and if Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 does not do numbers, I don’t know what to think anymore. Everybody needs to be a fan on September 8, 2009. We failed with the Slaughterhouse album… let’s not do that again. 50k or bust. Is that too much to ask? Props to RR.
