New Musica: Drake Leaks First Song Off Sophomore LP

By Simone Hilliard

Before Drizzy Drake signed to Young Money and became a platinum selling sensation, fans didn't have to wait long for new soundings from the Toronto emcee. In fact, when the Canadian rapper was giving away his music, free mixtapes came a plenty, or Drizzy at least released a track here and there to pacify his growing legion.

However, since the 2010 release of his debut album Thank Me Later and subsequent cancellation of his R&B mixtape It's Never Enough, Drake has kept us waiting for new music...till now.

Recently, the "Find Your Love" singer took to his blog to release what some are speculating is the first single off his highly anticipated sophomore effort Take Care. The track, "Dreams Money Can Buy," speaks to the rapper/ crooner's charmed life and is accompanied by a texted image that says, "This is a story of dreams mixed with reality."

Additionally, the blog post reads:

"A song that I felt the need to share. Not my single. Just a piece of my story. Hear me out though..."

Drizzy's bout with both real and dream world dualities contains bravado laced lyrics like "Can't tell ya how much I love when n---as think they got it. And I love the fact that line made them think about it." And contains verses typical of a young rapper a la the grinding dichotomy of having more money and women then a lifetime would provide the average man. Yawn.

However, what we didn't expect to hear from the 24-year-old rapper are the subversively charged lyrics aimed at the hip hop community.

"I feel like lately it went from top five to remaining five, my favorite rappers either lost it or they ain't alive. And they trying to bring us down, me Weezy and Stunna, we stayed up, Christmas lights in the middle of summer."

Shots fired! Overall, Drake delivers a strong track to solidify his rap resurgence. What do you think of Drizzy's latest effort?
