Drake Becomes First Artist To Debut Top 3 Songs On Billboard Hot 100

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: PYMCA / Getty Drake recently dropped a three-pack project in Scary Hours 2 to a reasonable amount of fanfare ahead of the release of his anticipated full-length project, Certified Lover Boy. The Canadian superstar made history again by becoming the first artist to debut and occupy the first three spots on the Billboard charts. The artist born Aubrey Graham can celebrate another chart-topping win as the ranking of the songs on Scary Hours 2 mimics the exact order of the sales position. The project’s high-energy “What’s Next” track debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which was followed by the blistering “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby at No. 2. Rounding off the run at No. 3 is “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring Rick Ross, and by far the lo...

After three years off the air, the once popular OVO Sound Radio will be returning as a 24-our station dubbed SOUND 42 and will broadcast live from the city of Toronto where Drake sits on his throne plotting his next moves.

Drake To Release “Scary Hours” Ahead Of ‘Certified Lover Boy’

Source: PYMCA / Getty Drake has much of the music world waiting on pins and needles as he prepares to release his latest full-length project in Certified Lover Boy. In what appears to be a bid to ease the public’s anticipation, Drizzy will be dropping off what is presumed to be a single from the album this coming Friday titled “Scary Hours.” Although it was suggested by French Montana that Certified Lover Boy was ready to go for a January drop, Drake halted the momentum and stated that he’s pushing back the release of the record. There was some speculation that the current state of touring and a ban on large gatherings across much of the world may have something to do with the timing of the release. While Drake fans are most certainly bummed that CLB isn’t quite available at the moment, th...

Drake’s OVO Air Force 1’s Get Teased On Social Media

Source: NOCTA / NIke For a second there it seemed like adidas was able to pull off one of their biggest coups when Drake was seemingly waving goodbye to Nike and making his way to the three stripe brand. Ultimately Drizzy thought better of it and remained an ambassador for the Swoosh and eventually dropped his own NOCTA collection which sold out in seconds. Now we’ve gotten a sneak peak at his long rumored OVO x Air Force 1 collaboration and the color itself might be enough to make this a hot commodity. Teased by Mark Robinson a.k.a. OVO Mark, we got a closeup look at the heel tab which features an “OVO” stitched under the “Nike” emblem and an light purple hue leather covering the classic silhouette. Man, these are kinda butter. Whether or not these joints will see a general release or rem...

As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop the legendary DJ paid a visit to Gillie The Kid and Wallo for an installment of the Million Dollarz Worth Of Game podcast.

Known for not exactly being Drake’s biggest fan, Tha God shocked many when he said he wasn’t just not looking forward to Drizzy’s upcoming project Certified Lover Boy, but that the Canadian crooner/rapper’s reign was basically a wrap. During his Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne explained that he felt Drake had already given us everything he could during his illustrious career and didn’t know if the “Back-To-Back” rapper had anything left to impress. “Drake has given us so much music that I don’t know if he has another gear,” Tha God bluntly stated. “We know Kendrick has a...
