Rap Radar

Yesterday, Aubrey kicked off the European leg of his tour in the capital of Ireland. Although the video is on hold for the time being, here’s footage of the album’s title track live from the Ireland O2 arena. YOLO!

After wrapping up the US run of his tour, OVO gives us a look behind the scenes of Aubrey’s Club Paradise both off and on site. Do remember, the paradise continues May 7th.

After announcing the release date for his next video “Take Care“, Drizzy is already back to work for another video for his collabo with Mr. Carter. No official pics from the set yet, but here are a few photos from Twitter.

If you missed the Club Paradise tour, you’re in luck. OVO plans to continue his trek this Spring and plans to bring J.Cole, Waka Flocka, Meek Mill, French Montana, and 2 Chainz along. What a line-up! Dates below.

Drake wrote GQ verse night before his cover shoot. Finished shoot, went over it on his Blackberry for 3 mins, then smashed it in one take.

During the photoshoot for his April cover issue of GQ, Aubrey loosens up his tie and recites a new verse. Half a mil to perform? Swag.

Cameras of the Gentlemen’s Quarterly invite us on the set for Aubrey’s photoshoot and how his upcoming April cover came into fruition. Issue hits newsstands on March 20.

Drake puts on his finer threads and cleans up nicely for April’s cover of Gentlemen’s Quarterly. The issue hits newsstands on March 20, but peep the excerpt on his past promiscuity below.

“There’s just a time where it was like, just getting pussy. Where I was in that sort of ‘I’m young, I’m going to disconnect from my emotions and just do what everyone else tells me I should do and just a be a rapper and have my fun.’ And for me as a person, it just doesn’t work. The seconds after a man reaches climax, that’s the realest moment of your life. If I don’t want you next to me in that fifteen, twenty seconds, then there’s something wrong.”

Drizzy’s Club Paradise Tour landed in the Bay Area this past Friday at San Jose State University. Of course, he had to do it for the Bay and performed his hit, “The Motto”. Rest in peace, Mac Dre. More footage here.

Meek and Jermaine weren’t the only acts Drake brought to the USC stage last night. LoveRance stepped up to the plate and performed his Bay Area-based hit, “Up”. Let’s get dirty, college kids!

Drake’s Club Paradise tour made a pit stop last night at the University of Southern California. During his set, he surprised the crowd with appearances from J.Cole and Meek Mill. Can’t get enough of that, right?
