Drake speaks on the track “Light Up” which features Jay-Z; where both MC’s spits 32 bars apiece, off his upcoming debut album Thank Me Later tentatively scheduled for a March 30th release.

Drake recently sat down with MTV News in his Canadian hometown and explained how the song, produced by Tone Mason and co-produced by his October’s Very Own cohort Noah “40″ Shebib, came to fruition.

The track will be included on the rapper’s forthcoming debut, Thank Me Later, tentatively slated for a March release.

“When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, ‘Man, this is a moment,’ ” he said. ” ‘This sounds like where I’m at in my life.’ So, we took it and 40 did what he does to pieces of music that I see potential in — he took it to the next spot. Jay-Z’s on it. The song is phenomenal. It’s done now.”

Jay Electronica made a tribute to honor the late. great King of Pop, Michael Jackson with a picture video to his banger of a track “Exhibit C” and is dubbed Audiograph Memorial. Jay shares his motivation for the tribute below:

Posted verbatim:

I made this because i have loved Michael Jackson all of my life. All of my memories from about 5 years old or so (which is about as far back as i remember with some ease) can be tied to or associated with or landmarked by some musical contribution of Michael Jackson at that time. From then, all the way to now. He is a dark fingerprint on a very large part of who I am and who most of the people I know personally are. And thats why i posted this picture along with this song. The response to this song is amazing, and overwhelming and i appreciate all of the love and support it is recieving from everywhere. And i dedicate all of this positive energy toward a Great Hero of mine (although not perfect) who has performed many miracles in his physical life and who has and will be for many moons continue to be a glowing light in the dark for those who see something better inside of themselves and have the will and desire to pursue it. Evolution. May our good works be recorded and duplicated, and may our sins be recorded and forgiven. Amen  — Jay Electronica

J. Cole gets his first cover with music mag, Beyond Race Magazine (BRM).  The N.C. rhyme spitter shares a few words of wisdom when you check out the behind the scenes footage of the cover shoot.  The issue is a double cover with the Bodega Girls sharing the honors.

Money Mayweather chops it up with DJ Whoo Kid and shares his thoughts on several topics including his haters, Pacman and more.

Floyd Mayweather called in from Miami to talk with DJ Whoo Kid and the Shade 45 crew last week, and the gloves were on! Listen as the fighting phenom discusses boxing vs. the MMA, the Tiger Woods debacle, Sugar Shane Mosley, his record label and more!

Which sport has the best fans? What is Floyd’s favorite song right now? Which aspiring rapper stole his diamond watch? What will he, 50 Cent and Whoo Kid be doing this New Year’s Eve? Why is Shane Mosley begging to fight Mayweather? How does he feel about haters? How does HBO really feel about champs like Roy Jones, Jr. and Mike Tyson? What advice does he have for Tiger Woods?

Here’s a look at the cover art for Bleek’s upcoming album The Process. Bleek gets a lot of hate…I think mostly because he Jay’s right-hand but he’s not as bad as most try to make him seem and definitely better than some with deals out right now.
