Drake releases the video for his latest viral hit, “Marvin’s Room“. We’re still not sure who Marvin is and where’s his room and who’s in it for that matter. Anyway, dope track from Hip-Hop’s reigning Emo rapper. Check it out.

L.A. clothing brand Crooks & Castles introduces their first collection of sunglasses for Summer 2011 season. Having previously worked with Misley Tribes on eyewear and obviously learning a thing or two on how to effectively create sunnies, the new collection features several styles, inspired by all time classics frames. Deciding to go full force with the launch of their new line, Crooks & Castles enlisted hip hop sensation, and Toronto boy Drake as the face of the eyewear campaign. Check out the collection below.

This dude Nardwuar is pretty weird, but his interviews are classic. Anyway, he recently caught up with Hip-Hop’s golden boy Drizzy Drake to talk about all things random. I don’t know what kind of network Nardwuar has, but he never ceases to amaze me with his background mining skills and the ability to get a hold of things that are priceless to the person he’s interviewing. If you’re not up on this guy, please do yourself a favor and peep his interviews on YouTube with Hip-Hop’s elite.
BTW, I had no idea Larry Graham was Aubrey Graham’s uncle!

While everybody thought that Drake has only contributed a bridge to Rick Ross’ ode to Aston Martins, Drake dropped a verse which is supposed to make the final edit of the song. So far the music stemming from Teflon Don album, due July 20th, has been decent. It remains to be seen what else the Miami rapper has in store for us. Listen to Drizzy below.

Drake has the #1 album in the country, and now he’s gifting us with another treat: his MTV documentary Better Than Good Enough, which gives us a peek into what it’s like being Drizzy and life leading up to the release of ‘Thank Me Later’.
Drake says how he writes all his raps on Blackberry instead of a piece of paper (”The BlackBerry keys—my thumbs were made for touching them”) presents himself as laid back, introspective and vulnerable while being followed around by cameras and being asked personal questions. Take a look at this VERY good documentary that MTV produced with a deleted scene that wasn’t aired in the original showing after the jump, Read more…
By this time I’m sure most if not all of you have heard Drake’s album, Thank Me Later. It’s a good album in my opinion, and if you truly listened to the album and wondered about certain references and stories that were told on each song, Drake talks track by track about the meaning of the songs and particular lyric instances. One of the more introspective interviews with a lot of explanation behind the songs. Check it out, Read more…
Now this is nothing too spectacular and out of the ordinary from Crooks and Alife, Crooks features what is basically the Thank Me Later album cover and Alife’s in-house design; the majority reason this caught our attention was the footage connected to it. As everyone and their mother’s grandmother are aware of, hip-hop’s golden boy and next up to the throne, Drizzy Drake, debuted his premiere album yesterday. I know right, who knew? And while probably 90% 60 – 75% of us downloaded it prior to its official release due to the majestic power of the internet, there is still no doubt that it was one of the more highly anticipated releases here lately and devout fans would still pick up a hard copy.
So Crooks & Castles, being the avid Drake supporters that they are, not only concocted this tee in honor of the album, but made a trip to their local Best Buy and scooped up the entire stock of Thank Me Later CDs. Now that’s love. That being said, stroll on over to Crooks’ website and snag the commemorative garb or go over to Alife’s and do the same and definitely check after the cut for the footage they put together of the “Best Buy Raid.” Read more…
