Dr. Dre & Jay-Z Work on Detox Single

There were some rumors floating around earlier this week that the two would be in the studio working on a single, but I didn’t think there was enough evidence to post it until this picture emerged. Yeah, it could be fake, but I really don’t think so and I’m sure everyone is hoping it isn’t.

Singles

Edit: Some more good tracks to end the night/start the morning. It’s good to hear from the whole Slaughterhouse crew today. The Royce, Crooked, & Bun track isn’t even finished, either.

Yelawolf Signs With Interscope

A big birdie tells me that Yelawolf has officially signed to Interscope Records. Again, buzz+climate created a bidding war, but it seems Jimmy Iovine was highly motivated. Congrats to the Alabaman! Now usually I just pretend to be interested in people, but I’m honestly intrigued by this fellow (and I enjoy his Zannel). Fans who were introduced to Yelawolf’s twang on Juelz Santana’s “Mixing up the Medicine” may need to ease into his unfiltered solo work, but I like his southern-comfort-in-his-own-skin. It’s definitely attracted some vets (Bun B, Travis Barker, the Neptunes, etc), not to mention, everyone who saw Yelawolf at SxSW left raving as well. So that’s no small feat. – miss info

Drake Sets Date for Thank Me Later Album

The Rap-Up reports:

It’s official. The most anticipated hip-hop album of the year finally has a release date.

Drake’s debut Thank Me Later will arrive on May 25, Rap-Up.com has learned. The Canadian singer-rapper has been in the studio with a who’s who list of collaborators including Jay-Z (“Light Up”), Kanye West, The-Dream (“Shut It Down”), Sean Garrett, and Boi-1da, who produced the first single “Over.”

The project, originally scheduled for an early spring release, has taken a little longer than expected as Drizzy strives for perfection. “This is my first album and it takes a lot for me to commit to a song and be like, ‘I like this enough that I’m gonna put it on the album,’” he told Rap-Up.com. “It’s gotta be something that I feel is timeless and is better than anything that I’ve ever done.”

Drake will travel across the country performing material from the album on his first headlining trek, “The Away From Home Tour,” kicking off April 9 at Penn State University, and wrapping in Houston on May 20, a few days before the record’s release.

“Over” is currently No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, while a video for the song, directed by Anthony Mandler, is set to debut in the coming weeks.
