:: Romanthony , soul house music pioneer, died at age 45 due to complications of kidney disease. After having once described his music as "physical pain," yet best known for his Auto-Tuned chorus in Daft Punk 's "One More Time," the New Jersey native was recording new music with MikeQ and Boyz Noize .

With it already confirmed that Kanye West will appear in the upcoming sequel to Anchorman , it now seems like hip-hop cohort Drake will also be joining him in the movie. Drake is reported to have been spotted on a New Yorkset of Anchorman: The Legend Continues , which is currently scheduled for an end of year release.The New York Daily News say that the singer was wearing an afro wig and a [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-19T16:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4958948/jay-z-and-drake-hit-the-studio-together/
Drake 's found yet another reason to thank Jay-Z later. As reported last night, he hit the studio with the Roc Nation CEO for their first collaboration since "Light Up," off his 2010 debut. "Warning: Please be very afraid of the music we're working on. OVO x ROCNATION," a Roc Nation photographer posted to Instagram . In the Thank Me Later track, Drake rapped of how his friends were partying, but he was making the music they party to - "I got these new rappers nervous / prom night, n--" [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-19T09:10:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4958718/party-omo-wus-good-curious/
"Wus Good / Curious" is so densely layered that it constantly keeps you coming back for more. It starts off like any good make-out session, slow and sweet, and quickly turns into something unexpected, yet completely warranted by the end. Party Omo remains relatively anonymous on the interweb, but there is a cryptic Pinterest account as well as Twitter handle with over 3,000 followers and only four tweets. Now that's swag. There's rtumours that Party Omo is fucking with the OVO gang, which seems like a pretty good fit if you consider his/her [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-18T22:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4958459/drake-will-also-be-in-anchorman-2/
As it turns out, Kanye West isn't the only rapper set to make a cameo in Anchorman 2 . As the New York Daily News reports, Drake was spotted filming a scene for the movie in New York City on Saturday. The Daily News also has photos from the set, in which Drizzy sports a puffy afro and leather jacket. Still nothing compared to Kanye's wolf t-shirt though.

Drake's official website, October's Very Own , broke the news yesterday about the upcoming 2013 OVO fest, which will take place from August 4th to the 5th.While the above image indicates only the headliners, you can expect plenty of other great talents to appear as "special guests." If you recall, Drizzy has brought out the likes of Rick Ross, Eminem, Jay-Z, The Weeknd, and even the legendary Stevie Wonder in previous years, so we wouldn't expect anything less during the fourth annual event.

Although it's quite possible this piece of news means little to the near future of recorded music, we are hopeful that Frank Ocean and James Blake's appearances at Drake's fourth annual OVO Fest in Toronto means that the three have been in a studio together at some point. Let's not forget that Drake has collaborated with almost all of the past OVO Fest performers ( The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Nas, Meek Mill, Snoop Dogg, J.

Thanks Drake . Our summer festival round up goes up, and later that day you announce the line up for your OVO Fest . Thanking you right now for showing us who runs this city. It's you, Drake. OVO stands for October's Very Own (I'm sticking with my dubious story that I didn't just realize this) but the 2 day OVO Fest begins not in the fall but on the final day of Caribana , August 4th. Only Drake himself, Frank Ocean , and James Blake [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T15:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4954539/frank-ocean-joins-drake-for-ovo-fest-2013/
Drake is throwing a music festival in Toronto this summer, because Canada, right? The 4th annual OVO Fest (named after his October's Very Own label) kicks off August 4 at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, with tickets going on sale this Friday (May 24) at 10am and now he's fleshing out the line-up, adding Frank Ocean and James Blake to the roster. (They're both performing on August 4, while Drake will be hitting the stage with "special guests" on August 5. Last year's guests included Nicki Minaj and Snoop Lion , so they'll probably be pretty good this [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T13:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4954213/frank-ocean-james-blake-playing-drakes-ovo-fest/
Drake 's got a busy summer ahead of him. He's working on new album, Nothing Was The Same , and preparing his fourth annual OVO Fest, among other things I'm sure. Today, we're receiving some word on the music festival, which will take place over the course of two days, Aug. 4-5. So far, we know that Drizzy is definitely headlining the second night while James Blake and Frank Ocean share the bill for the first night.

Lately, music festivals have been stacking line-ups with artists from all ends of the spectrum. We've seen some huge rosters, but for his fourth OVO Fest, Drake goes for quality over quantity. For now, he's announcing that the fest will be a two-night affair. The performers: James Blake, Frank Ocean, and Drake.

Drake has recruited Frank Ocean and James Blake to perform at the 2013 edition of his annual OVO Festival, set for August 4th and 5th at Molson Ampitheatre in Toronto. Ocean and Blake will both take the stage on the 4th, while Drizzy will deliver a full headlining set on the 5th. Drake will undoubtedly surprise the masses with guests, as everyone from Eminem to Jay-Z to Lil Wayne has made unannounced appearances in the past. Tickets go on sale Friday May 24 at 10 a.m. EST at Live Nation and Ticketmaster.]]> text/html 2013-05-15T23:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4953282/naturally-mannie-fresh-isnt-co-signing-big-tymers-pending-abomination/
Looks like Mannie Fresh isn't here for Birdman's Big Tymers 2.0. The iconic producer chatted it up with Sway on MTV's Rapfix today via Skype and gave his opinion on his former collaborator's move to do a Big Tymers album without him. "I don't bash Cash Money, Birdman or none of them. It's really on, ya know, I'm still striving on just getting what I deserve. You know, what I put in. So maybe that's what his feelings is or whatever. Honestly, I think Drake is a great artist.

BET released the official list of nominations for their annual BET Awards this June. Rapper Drake appears a total number of 12 times all songs included while newcomer Kendrick Lamar ended up with 7. Other fortunate nominees include the outspoken Azealia Banks, Trinidad James, and ASAP Rocky. The biggest surprise goes to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis whose chart successes could grant them "Video of the Year" and "Best Group" awards.

Drake is most definitely at the top with a dozen nominations at the 2013 BET Awards. Despite not releasing a new album since November 2011, he's had a busy year with guest spots, videos and a couple singles from his forthcoming album. Oh, and that Aaliyah album if it ever happens. The Canadian rapper is up for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Video of the Year ( "Started From the Bottom" and "HYFR") and Viewers Choice, among others. Nobody else snagged nearly as many nods as Drizzy; 2 Chainz [...]]]>
