Where was this on Thank Me Later? Don’t get me wrong, the record got a solid amount of play over here…but it consisted much more of the laid back, R&B Drake. This right here is a lethal combination of R&B Drake, the witty rapper Drake, and a money sample sprinkled on top (Nneka’s “Heartbeat”). I feel like the guy is so hit or miss for me. That being said, “I’m Ready For You” sums up exactly what I like about his style. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Drake – I’m Ready For You [via]

A fresh remix from Mochi Beats right here. A couple things to put on the table before you press play. First, Two Door Cinema Club’s “What You Know” is rapidly becoming the most remixed song of the year. I mean I get it, it’s a good song…I just don’t think 45,000 remixes and remixes of other remixes are necessary. (This one is an exception). Secondly, before you start hating on me because this track features Shontelle’s “Impossible”, we all know that NOBODY changes the radio station when that shit comes on. Nobody. So you bros out there can pretend like … Continue reading →

I know. Posting a snippet of an upcoming song is a ridiculous and unnecessary concept. However, this beat has potential to be utterly out of control, and I wanted to give you all a preview before the mastered track leaks. Kanye’s currently untitled upcoming album is hands down the most anticipated disc of the year…yet somehow, the music always finds a way to live up to the hype. You’ll find the mastered track here when it’s released. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Kanye West (feat. Drake) – Ghetto University (All Of The Lights) [Snippet] [via]

A fresh track here from K-os and Drake, coming off K-os’ recent release, The Anchorman Mixtape.  Smooth.  That’s the only word that comes to mind here. I like everything about it, from the guitar riff, to the laid back, R&B feel. Good shit; add it to the library and hit me with your thoughts.

This is a CDQ version that just came out and it is supposed to be the first single off of Wayne’s I’m Not A Human Being EP that will be released on September 27th, which is Lil Wayne’s birthday as well.  The song is definitely a good one but once again this version is a radio rip so there are tags all over it.  Enjoy… Download: Lil Wayne- Right Above It (Feat. Drake) (CDQ) [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

Here’s a new cut that was meant to be on Thank Me Later, but didn’t quite make the final tracklisting.  Sounds like it could’ve fit right in with the rest of the album to me.  Oh, and Drake casually picked up his own plane recently.  Richard Branson and Virgin America devoted a plane strictly to Drake for a reason unknown, complete with his face/album cover on the side.  That’s probably when you can officially say that you made it.  The official Chuckness plane is coming in 2011, keep your eyes peeled.

I’ve decided to spice up the way we do business around here by adding a little “Best of the Month” feature.  This is for all of the amateurs who don’t check the site on a daily basis, and want a quick breakdown of the top tracks of the past few weeks.  Thus, I have created a method with which you can cherry pick my favorite tracks of the month by simply viewing one post.  Mind boggling right? I’ve included a mixed and mastered continuous stream of the top tracks of the month, just in case you wanted to fluidly listen … Continue reading →

I stumbled across this mash-up over at Earmilk, and it’s sounding borderline surreal in my Dre’s.  I’m generally pretty hesitant with mash-ups, as the percentage of shit that makes your ears bleed greatly outweighs legitimate, fresh mash-ups.  After three spins of “The Fly Scientist” though, I’m ready to give it the stamp of approval.  Give it a go.

This track right here is Drake’s iTunes bonus record off of Thank Me Later, which is due out tomorrow, June 15th.  I’ve had the debut album in rotation for a bit now; Drake sent that shit over directly as soon as it was done…cause he knows The Chuckness is the future.  Not quite, but we’ll be at that level someday.  It goes without saying that it’s worth picking up.  His flow has grown on me, and “9AM in Dallas” fits right in with the rest of the tracks on the disc.  Give it a go…via P&P.

Here’s the full, CDQ version of Drake and Jay-Z’s “Light Up” off Thank Me Later (June 15th).  The radio rip came out last week or so, then some chopped up album version was released…but here’s the official, full length track.  I’m done posting shit from Thank Me Later…as the vast majority of the album is already floating around the internet.  To be honest, upon first listen I was expecting a little more from this track…what do you think?  Maybe it’ll come around on me in a couple of days.  Give it a go.  Spotted at Nah Right.
