Aubrey has announced his annual OVO Fest and has turned it into a two-day festival. It all goes down at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre August 4-5.
Drake’s OVO Fest came and went five days ago. But Dre Films takes us back to T-Dot with a look behind the scenes, the performances and Rozay’s $27k total spent on Vintage Frames. Frame that.
Backstage at his OVO Fest last weekend, Drake spoke to Much Music on his performance, Aaliyah’s single “Enough Said” and her posthumous album helmed mostly by himself and “40”. Drake also says it will feature at least 13-14 tracks and will include those who have worked with the late songstress. Miss Info has clarification on whether the project is supported by her family.
Waka also lended his assistance during yesterday’s OVO festival by joining Drake for “Round Of Applause”. After the jump, Snoop joins the fun with “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Beautiful”.
Of course, Drake brought out a few surprise guests during last night’s show. Above, Nicki Minaj made her presence felt for “Make Me Proud”. She got it, there she go.
Drake held his annual OVO Fest last night at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. Above, The Weeknd joins him on stage for a little “Crew Love”. Of course, the home crowd was loving it.

Continuing his conversation at OVO Fest with Billboard, Drake gives his reaction to the numerous renditions. “The writing is doing something to people for them to want to take it and remix it. It’s very flattering. Thank you to anybody that made a remix. I hope other songs on the album get reactions like that too. I really, really, really worked very hard on the writing for this album. […]
Drake’s second annual OVO Fest will go down in Toronto July 31st 2011 at the Molson Amphitheater. Not sure how he can top last year’s surprise guests, but so far the line up consists of Rick Ross, The Weeknd, and Drizzy himself. Tickets go on sale June 3rd via Ticketmaster. atf
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
