Drake Talks About New Album During Toronto Raptors Game

Toronto – Drake was back in his hometown of Toronto on Friday night (March 9) for the Toronto Raptors vs. Houston Rockets game.

At one point during the event — dubbed “Drake Night” — the 6 God took center court and briefly talked about his next album.

“I love each and every one of you, I’m happy to be home,” he said. “I’m working on this new album for the city. Yeah, that’s right. And by the looks of it, tonight, this win streak is over, so let’s go get it.”

The new album will mark his follow-up to 2017’s More Life playlist.

Drake says he’s working on a new album for Toronto and that the Rockets 17 game win streak is ending tonight. ??

After the game, which saw the Raptors crush the Rockets’ 17-game winning streak, All-Star Chris Paul invited James Harden and other members of the Houston Rockets to join him for a D’USSE-sponsored dinner at Drake’s newly-opened Toronto restaurant, Pick 6ix. DeMar DeRozan, who made the winning shot, was the only member of the Raptors to show up at the dinner.

Drake and his best friend Chubbs joined the celebratory crew at the restaurant where they dined on lobster and braised short ribs.

Twitter Really Wants Logic’s “Yuck” To Be Joyner Lucas Diss Track

Joyner Lucas and Logic have a murky history. Over the past year, Lucas has accused the bespectacled rapper of stealing his concept for his suicide prevention anthem, “1-800-273-8255,” and blasted him for his work on Tech N9ne’s “Sriracha.” Now, it seems Logic might have finally fired back, at least that’s what Twitter is hypothesizing.

After Logic dropped his Bobby Tarantino II mixtape on Friday (March 9), several bars in the song “Yuck” raised a few eyebrows.

“Talkin’ shit ’bout Logic, I never respond/ I’ll let success talk, ’cause a word of advice/ More achievements for yourself and less talk/ Cats beef with Logic, yeah, they prayin’ I respond/If I ever did, I dead you in this game with no respawn, Peace, love, and positivity that’s all I want with you/ But you push the issue ’cause I give you more press than your publicist could ever get you.

“Hell nah, fuck rap, fuck beef, anyone that hate me, I wish you success/ I wish you look in the mirror and ask yourself why you suppressed/ If feelings of self-hatred that you wan’ project on me/ Bet if I never picked up the mic then we might be homies/ But you jealous, you look at my life and you feel envy/ Constantly comparing yourself to me and feel empty/ Most people that don’t fuck with me ain’t ever shook my hand.”

Joyner denied dissing Logic on his Future’s “Mask Off” remix last May but labeled him “a corny guy” three months later. Then, on Joyner’s “Look Alive” freestyle, he seemed to have dropped a subliminal aimed at the Everybody artist.

Once fans started to dissect the lyrics to “Yuck,” multiple Twitter users came to the conclusion that the song is, in fact, a diss track aimed at Lucas.

Check out some of the reactions below.

Other women les virtuoses found in Apple Music’s Top 20 include Beyonce (#3), SZA (#9) and Nicki Minaj (#12).

To act like the writing on the wall for Riri’s groundbreaking success wasn’t apparent would be foolish. Her last album — 2016’s Anti — earned a platinum certification in just hours.

#DXHitList: Vince Staples, Logic & Sir Michael Rocks Top This Week’s Spotify Playlist

Spotify – Vince Staples “Get The Fuck Off My Dick” tops this week’s #DXHitList on Spotify simply because it bangs. Staples activated a $2 million GoFundMe campaign this week, challenging those who want him to disappear to pay for him to retire somewhere in Palmdale with a Honda and a puppy. He’s only raised a little over $1,500 though so far so here comes the new music.

Also topping the #DXHitList is a track from Logic and Big Sean called “Wassup” off the Maryland bred MC’s mixtape Bobby Tarantino II. It’s certainly not the type of song you’d expect to hear from Logic if you don’t listen to him often.

The #DXHitList also features the melodic cut “Don’t Play Me Repay Me” from Sir Michael Rocks, produced by Dan Trevino.

Lil Yachty, Wifisfuneral, Buddy, Snow Tha Product, 16yrold and Casey Veggies with the 03 Greedo-assisted banger “Broke” also top this week’s #DXHitList.

Follow and listen to the #DXHitList on Spotify below.
