Over the weekend Pharrell made a guest appearance on Drake’s OVOSOUNDRADIO and when big names make guest appearances on the show, it usually means new music is on the horizon. Staying true to the format, Pharrell unleashed a remix of “Lemon,” reuniting Rihanna and Drake on a song.
The remix features a braggadocios verse from Drizzy rapping “My daddy told me listen, you better get some money/ & not die & go to prison/ so you see/ i got rich & stayed free.” Does Drake’s verse make Lemon that much better? With all the content he’s dropping is an album is certainly coming soon. Be sure to leave a comment below on what you thought about the remix.
Academy and Grammy Award-winning actor/singer Jamie Foxx and Drake’s cousin OVO Ryan Silverstein joined forces on Saturday February 17, 2018 for an All-Star weekend extravaganza that was the first annual “ChaCha The Wave Celebrity Charity Basketball Tournament.”
The charity event took place at Jamie’s lavish Thousand Oaks estate, where guests enjoyed food from the popular Fat Sal’s restaurant chain and gifting of Jamie Foxx’s Prive Revauxsunglass line, as well as Lyfted Extracts. The star-studded celebrity attendees also enjoyed beverages provided by Bio Steel, Essential Life House, Tequila Avion, Bumbu Rum, Tito’s Vodka, and Luc Belaire.
Foxx and Silverstein put the event together for the purpose of raising money for the Jamie Foxx Foundation and The Spirit League Foundation. Both organizations provide health, education, and welfare of children around the world. It also facilitates adoption programs and exposes children to music, comedy, and the arts.
Chance The Rapper dominated on the court and was the lead scorer, amongst all his teammates and opponents. Murda Beatz also did a great job coaching for Foxx’s squad, that ultimately won.
See a full list of attendees and more pictures below.
Celebrities who attended the event included: Jamie Foxx, Chance The Rapper, Tyga, Madison Beer, Johnny Manziel, Anwar Hadid, Trinidad James, Smoke Purpp, Terrell Owens, Lexy Panterra, Corinne Foxx , Murda Beatz, Bazzi, Yes Julz, Neels Visser, BlocBoy JB, Josie Canseco, Todd Gurley, Eif Rivera, and many more.
With his chart-topping single “God’s Plan” garnering a lot of attention, Drake unveils the heartfelt visuals for it.
Directed by frequent collaborator Director X, the feel-good video show Champagne Papi giving back to the community. Throughout the video he pulls up on random people in different settings and blesses them with a stack of cash.
He also stops by a supermarket and pays for everyone in the stores groceries. He then presents the high school where he shot the video with a $25,000 check and awards a student a $50,000 scholarship check to go to the University of Miami. After that he links up with Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver Antonio Brown and the two take three women on a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Ave.
In an Instagram post Drake said this video was “The most important thing I have ever done in my career…” According to the opening credits the full budget for the video of $996,631.90 was all given away to people in gifts and cash.
“We gave it all away. Don’t tell the label…” says the disclaimer.
As expected BlocBoy JB shares the visuals for his Drake-assisted banger “Look Alive,” just one day after dropping the single, which has garnered nearly 1-million streams in less than 24-hours since being released.
Shot in Memphis, Tennessee, the video shows clips from BlocBoy’s hometown, where he, Drake, and their entourages takeover a high school, a bowling alley, a nightclub, hang in the streets, and catch a Memphis Grizzlies game, where they enjoy “a long way from sittin’ in the nosebleeds.” MoneybaggYo also makes a cameo.
Right after performing at the first night of their sold out “Morning After Tour” in Los Angeles, the OVO fam DVSN pulled up on Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk to discuss some things that were very intriguing.
Amongst the topics discussed was their ‘Morning After’ album, touring, Nineteen85’s previous and future collaborations with Drake, the possibility of a complete OVO compilation and tour, and much more.
During the interview Justin Credible brought up Drake’s next album and shared his sentiments about wanting to see some new music from the duo on there. Ninteen85 alluded to a potential collaboration saying, “thats for sure.”
Back in the good ol’ days Drake would release one offs and singles at off hours which he dubbed “scary hours.” Going back to his roots The 6 God releases his surprise two-track ‘Scary Hours’ EP.
On the fearsome two-track EP, Drizzy goes off starting with the vibrant “God’s Plan” single. He then continues the onslaught on the darker “Diplomatic Immunity,” where he goes in with vicious bars that may go over your head if you don’t listen closely.
“I’ve seen budding careers turn to sit around and talk about other careers, judging their peers / Knowledge from n****s who did not contribute to none of this here,” he spits on “Diplomatic Immunity.” Some would say it could be a shot a Joe Budden.
Listen to both tracks below and tell us in the comments which track you’re vibing to the most.
Majid Jordan drops the anticipated visuals for their ‘The Space Between’ standout, “Gave Your Love Away.” In the visuals take the viewer to a mellow house party where the guests take the night in, as the OVO Sound duo sings their song with special effects and a karaoke setting.
OVO Sound’s Baka Not Nice stunts in the video for his recent single, “Money in the Bank.” Alongside a flock of thong-draped models, Drake’s former security guard does his money dance with an OVO Lambo and other fancy whips behind him.
When people debate on what Drake’s greatest album is, the general consensus always seems to be ‘Take Care’. The album was major for Drizzy, who was coming off his biggest single to date in “Best I Ever Had,” and maintained consistency with the album, eventually making him a household name.
Released back on November 15th 2011, ‘Take Care’ debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts with 631,000 copies sold in its first week. Just last week the album completed a 250 week streak on the Billboard 200 and currently sits at No. 105. It has sold over 5-million copies as of this year.
The album spawned many big singles for Drizzy including “Marvin’s Room,” the radio-ready “Headlines,” “HYFR” featuring Lil Wayne, “Take Care” featuring Rihanna, “Make Me Proud” featuring Nicki Minaj, and many more. It is 4x certified-platinum by the RIAA.

OVO’s Roy Wood$ was in LA for his ‘Say Less’ listening party and stopped by the #LIFTOFF to talk about the debut album with Justin Credible and Sourmilk.
In the interview the Canadian rapper talked about his ‘Say Less’ album, Canada’s music scene, Canadian’s dominating the industry, Drake’s mentorship, being signed to OVO, a possible OVO compilation tape, and a whole lot more.
Wood$ goes on to list Michael Jackson and Nelly as his biggest influences, goes into detail about how he got his name, and praised his mother for being a major supporter for him.
Staying true to the “October’s Very Own” mantra, the duo made up of Majid Jordan and Majid Al Maskati known as Majid Jordan release their sophomore album, ‘The Space Between’.
‘The Space Between’ follows the Canadian duos critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut album from last year. Their single “Phases” began the buzz of this second body of work and was followed by collaborations with fellow OVO label-mates, PARTYNEXTDOOR on “One I Want” and dvsn on “My Imagination.”
OVO is living up to its name with all the new music it’s pumping out in October. Meanwhile OVO signee Baka Not Nice continues to heat up and turns October into Baktober with his new single “I Am Who I Am.”
This one follows Baka’s first-ever single “Live Up to My Name,” which is going off everywhere. Baka might have to change his name from Not Nice to Too Nice with the kind of sound he’s bringing.
Continuing their full-fledged musical output in October, OVO will make their second release in as many weeks with the release of Majid Jordan’s ‘The Space Between’ album, dropping this Friday. Ahead of the release the duo uncovers the album’s track listing.
Set to contain 13-tracks, ‘The Space Between’, will include the PARTYNEXTDOOR-assisted “One I Want,” as well as “Phases,” “Gave Your Love Away,” and “My Imagination” featuring dvsn. Production is expected to be handled mostly by OVO producers.
For the group comprised of Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, this will be their second studio album and a follow-up to last year’s self-titled debut. The album will be released Friday, October 27th.
