Following the release of the ‘No New Friends’ remix, Octobers Very Own rapper Drake drops some new music of his own. Weirdly titled ‘Girls Love Beyonce’, the track features singer-songwriter James Fauntleroy, of the R&B/pop production group The Y’s (which also includes Justin Timberlake). Aimed at the ladies the Noah ’40′ Shebib produced track samples by Destiny’s Child’s smash hit ‘Say My Name’ on the hook. On the 90s R&B inspired track, Drizzy looks back on dating on the brink of fame. Usually we can relate to Drake’s love stories, but I guess we all can with the Fauntleroy sung hook!
DJ Khaled releases the first single, ‘No New Friends’, taken from his upcoming album, Suffering from Success.
Featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, the Boi-1da and Noah ’40′ Shebib produced track is certified to become another club banger from the DJ!
Ciara has announced that her upcoming album, formerly titled One Woman Army, will now be titled Ciara. The followup to 2010's Basic Instinct is set to drop July 9, and will be available for pre-order today (April 16).
Yesterday, Juicy J dropped the single artwork for a mystery track featuring R&B crooner Abel Tesfaye better known as The Weeknd, entitled 'One Of Those Nights', via his Instagram. Late last night, the track was dropped on SoundCloud. Over at Endz2Endz we predicted that Juicy would have a lot to live up to on his own track, as The Weeknd is pretty much in a league of his own! Of course we were right on the living up part, but did Juicy make the grade? Not quite!
Yesterday Drake dropped an unreleased track by the late and beautiful Aaliyah. The Noah '40' Shebib produced rack entitled 'Enough Said' sends chills up your spine on hearing baby girl's voice - in a good way off course. Released through her label Blackground Records, Drake lends his ad libs and a verse in the middle of the track. The track is the first track release since her tragic death 10 years ago.
Now I love 40 and Drake, but the production of the track doesn't seem fitting and neither does Drake's "yeah what' up" bits throughout the track. Having said that, a couple times played the track does grow on you.
Drizzy will apparently be executive producer on Aaliyah's upcoming album. I guess it would have been only right for Missy or Timbaland to be working on this project and have released this track but what is done is done! Hopefully Drake has sorted out all the legalities - you know what he's like!

Check out an interview I did with poet/spoken word artist Dean Atta when I went down to his preview party for his third EP Love or Money. I did a brief catch up on what he’s been up to since the last time E2E Magazine spoke with him. Watch to find out if he’s been writing any Olympic inspired pieces and if you’re an upcoming poet he gives some great and useful pointers.
Love or Money is available for download on SoundCloud by clicking here.
