In a recent interview with MTV’s Sway, Lil Wayne discussed his joint album with Drizzy Drake stating that it’s “coming up.” Hopefully it’ll come out before the end of the year but let’s see how that plays with the release of Drake‘s sophomore album, Take Care. I know the album will be a hit. What do you think? Leave a comment below!
From Rap-Up:
Young Money-Cash Money toasted their moneymakers Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and Drizzy Drake at last night’s pre-Grammy soirée at West Hollywood’s The Lot. Spirits were high as hip-hop’s hottest crew took the stage, posing for photos and saying a few words.
“I want to say that from the bottom of my heart, I could not be with a different label. And I said earlier, if somebody paid me to be with a different label, I couldn’t. These people right here are fu**in’ amazing!” said Young Money’s First Lady, who received a platinum plaque for Pink Friday. “[Wayne] four years ago saw me rapping on a motherfu**in’ starcase on a DVD in Queens, New York. This shit is fu**in’ real. Baby would come to the studio and see this crazy New York girl in the studio and now look, a million records. Shout to all my bad bitches that’s gettin’ money! YMCMB, ya dig?”
Lil Wayne had a busy past weekend. After the “Green and Yellow” mastermind cheered for the Green Bay Packers at Super Bowl XLV, Lil Wayne made his way to a downtown Dallas hot spot to for a special performance at night club, Escapade. Floyd Mayweather and the Young Money crew, including Toronto rapper, Drake, accompanied Wayne. Two times Grammy award winning producers and artists, Play-N-Skillz, hosted and scratched through out the night. The Dallas based brothers joined forces with Weezy back in 2008 when they produced his hit, “Got Money,” and recruited Travis Barker to hop on the remix.
Lil Wayne switched the Packers clothing for a fitted and a crisp white tee when he hit the stage to perform the Play-N-Skillz track mentioned above, “Got Money.” Weezy also spit a few verses from “6 Foot and 7 Foot.” Young Money label mates, Drake and Lil Twist joined Lil Wayne on stage to hype up the crowd.
Jay-Z and Kanye West already have two potential challengers to their upcoming Watch the Throne. In an interview with U.K. radio personality Tim Westwood, Drake announced that he and Lil Wayne are working on a joint album of their own, and he took a couple of jabs at Hova and Yeezy’s project in the process.
"I’ll be on [Tha Carter IV],
though … We’ve done a great song … and then we’re going to do
another one, and another one," the Young Money MC said. "We still got to
do that album. I heard some other guys are coming out with an album,
too. There’s two other rappers that are coming out with an album
together. … I don’t know where they got that idea but …"
Westwood
probably knew Drake was referring to Jay-Z and West but played into the
coy act, saying, "I’m very slow; can you just break it down a bit
simpler for me please?"
Then Drake continued, "I just caught wind
of it through the grapevine, that there’s some other album coming out
with two guys rapping on it too."
"Oh, those two … you mean the older guys," Westwood said.
"Oh, I didn’t say that," Drake replied. "They look young to me … in their movements."
West and Drake haven’t been as close as they seemed back in 2009, when Yeezy directed the up-and-comer’s video for "Best I Ever Had." The Toronto rapper recently was left off of the final version of West’s "All of the Lights," but he told Shade 45 radio that he was OK with it.
Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, is due later this year.
Here is a new song from Lil Wayne featuring Drake entitled Right Above It. This will be on Wayne’s upcoming I’m Not Human EP. Check it out below!

The Cash Money/Young Money synergy continued recently in Miami. All the family was there: Lil Wayne, Drizzy Drake, the Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Lil Chuckee, Mack Maine … everybody. Wayne and his Young Money camp shot the video for “Bed Rock,” while Birdman corralled Drake and Weezy for “4 My Town (Play Ball),” the next single off his album Priceless, due Monday.
“Me, Birdman and Wayne, we got this new song — I guess you could say it’s like another ‘Money to Blow,’ ” Drake said on set. “[The] three dudes that brought you the original are coming back, trying to make it just as big. It’s cool, man, to come out here and see the classic Cash Money feel. Everything is really big. It’s borderline cartoon. All the best things — the best cars, the best-looking women, the lights. It’s one of those videos that’s fun to do.”
Birdman continued to say that while Drake is family, he has his own niche.
“Me and my son been working 20 years, literally. Working with Drake brings a different spark,” Birdman said about working with Wayne and Drake. “[Drake's] got a different spark. He’s him. He brings him to what we do. It’s a different look. It brings something else to it. What I love about him is he does his own thing. He has his own thing with our thing and it makes it bigger. Drizzy!”
Check out the behind the scenes of the 4 My Town music video with Birdman, Drake, and Lil Wayne:
Drake responds to Lil Waynes sentencing
Not even jail time can faze Lil Wayne. The rap superstar is keeping his head up in the wake of his expected year behind bars over attempted gun possession. He is scheduled to be formally sentenced in February. Wayne’s Young Money affiliate Drake speaks exclusively with Rap-Up.com about how his friend is coping with the news and how he’ll be holding down the fort when his boss takes leave.
