New Music: Drake - "Draft Day" & "Days In The East"

Just when we think life could not get any better Drake asks us "Would We Like A New Track", and then drops two back to back. Only a day apart the OVO King drops his first track a Boi-1da, Ducko McFli, and Syk Sense- produced Lauryn Hill-sampled cut "Draft Day" just in time for the upcoming NFL Draft Day, and is dedicated to Drake's new friend Johnny Manziel. Drake also gives Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence a shout out in the track insinuating a possible crush. Drizzy dropped his second track "Days In The East" a day later with production from his OVO artist PARTYNEXTDOOR and his go to producer and engineer Noah "40" Shebib. The track samples Rihanna's song "Stay" and is said to reference the time Erykah Badu invited him over for a spot of tea to talk about love. Who's to say it is really about Erykah when clearly as of late his possible rekindled love affair with Rihanna has been in the news. Maybe the track is referencing his love affair with Rih or maybe it is just some of Champagne Papi's thoughts that get people thinking who knows, but one thing I do know is the kid from Toronto has me beyond intrigued.

Melodic Monday: Lauryn Hill - "Just Want You Around" (MTV Unplugged)

Melodic Monday is here once again and for awhile I knew I was going to eventually use "Just Want You Around" from Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged, and today with it being just that kind of Monday I felt the song was fitting. Lauryn's raw emotioned performance of this song will make you feel the context in which she is grasping for as she is singing the melody, and still to this day it is my most favorite song from her MTV Unplugged set.                                     XO
