Check out my interview with the awesome Porcelain Black—one of the newest signees to Red One’s 2101/Universal Republic—about her start, her style, and her Red One-produced album.

Drake’s Thank Me Later has moved to a June 15th release date, but you can listen and watch the first track produced by Noah “40″ Shebib. Still pumped-up with bravado, October’s very own is talking about the same things (money, fame) and it doesn’t sound fresh. Clearly the expectations on the new album are through the roof, but sheesh, I’d rather listen to “Fear”–no 4th of July fireworks.

If the musical stylings of Usher, Lil Wayne and Drake were rolled into a club joint, it would sound much like this. Maybe it’s cool to hate on the Young Money crew or Nicki’s breakout, but this is no place for hate. Every few months a track comes out that warrants repeated plays until… well, someone else intervenes. I looove this. Damn, it’s officially stuck in my head.

You know you’re a star when people offer you their puppies or a girl is having a very audible conniption fit. Congrats. This behind the scenes video of Drake’s “legendary” cover of the upcoming Feb/March issue of Complex is a uproariously funny (hard to count the number of girls buggin’ out) and the only calm person is Drake himself. I know we like to knock him, but his bravado is part of his charm and it sounds like he actually has a good head on his shoulders.
A little excerpt::
You feel like you’re at the finish line?
Drake: I’m at the starting line. Those guys are at home, putting on their tracksuits, getting ready to make their attack. When J. Cole gets it super-right, I think he’s gonna have a place as a Nas-type …
