Right peeps for some very exciting news!!!
It’s official. The most anticipated hip-hop album of the year finally has a release date.
Drake’s debut Thank Me Later will arrive on May 25, Rap-Up.com has learned. The Canadian singer-rapper has been in the studio with a who’s who list of collaborators including Jay-Z (“Light Up”), Kanye West, The-Dream (“Shut It Down”), Sean Garrett, and Boi-1da, who produced the first single “Over.”
The project, originally scheduled for an early spring release, has taken a little longer than expected as Drizzy strives for perfection. “This is my first album and it takes a lot for me to commit to a song and be like, ‘I like this enough that I’m gonna put it on the album,’” he told Rap-Up.com. “It’s gotta be something that I feel is timeless and is better than anything that I’ve ever done.”
Drake will travel across the country performing material from the album on his first headlining trek, “The Away From Home Tour,” kicking off April 9 at Penn State University, and wrapping in Houston on May 20, a few days before the record’s release.
“Over” is currently No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, while a video for the song, directed by Anthony Mandler, is set to debut in the coming weeks.

DIGGY SIMMONS SIGNS TO ATLANTIC RECORDS
Another one of Rev Run’s offspring is following in his father’s footsteps. The Run-D.M.C. frontman’s middle son Daniel “Diggy” Simmons has inked a recording deal with Atlantic Records, where he will release his debut album.
The 15-year-old Simmons’ mixtape The First Flight created buzz, but it wasn’t until he freestyled over Nas’ “Made You Look” that people began to take notice. A viral video of the song circulated across the Internet, gaining him legions of new fans. Labels quickly came calling, and this week he signed with Atlantic Records, home to T.I., Lupe Fiasco, and Trey Songz.
The dapper Diggy has been spotted front row at various runway shows during New York Fashion Week and he has his own blog called Life of the Jet Setter.
“Taking a tour of the Atlantic offices… This is real surreal right now, its official!” tweeted the star of MTV’s “Run’s House.” “Real thankful just takin it all in!”
His brother JoJo, part of the rap group Team Blackout, showed support for his younger sibling. “Diggy is gon take over and I’m there to support him! Family don’t compete with each other we complete each other,” he wrote.
Diggy signs on the dotted line at the Atlantic Records offices in Manhattan.
