Drake Could Have Another Album on Deck with New Deal Announcement

Were 25 songs enough to satisfy your Drake appetite for music this year? More could be on the way, especially if his line on “Is There More” and reports ring to be true. Mr. “Soon as this album drop I’m out of the deal,” seems to be plotting his next move, after shattering single day, first week and global streaming records upon the release of Scorpion.

According to Variety, as soon as Drizzy announces the new deal away from Young Money/Cash Money, he will be releasing another project to fans.

He will probably not be leaving the Universal Music Group umbrella, though.

As the report says, Drake is in a rare position, with a lot of bargaining power and leverage. Not only that, but he can sign in many different ways. He can either get large advances from a major label and continue moving how he has, or he can go a streaming giant like Apple Music and collect as much as 70% profits from DSP revenue. There could also be a tour package he could sign (like JAY Z did with Live Nation) that could be lucrative in terms of his road show.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
