PRODUCED (8)
While fans wait on the new Slaughterhouse album, Welcome To: Our House to drop on May 15, Joe Budden is doing his best to keep them occupied. Budden follows up his "No Church in the Wild" freestyle with "Stay Schemin."
The Slaughterhouse crew hits the road for a 43-city tour starting March 8 in Dallas. By that point we should have the group's first single from the new album.
Young Chris has been really on his grind recently since signing with Division 1. Here he taps two of his Philadelphia homies, Meek Mill and Freeway to help him spit on this Cardiak produced track.
Chris and Cardiak are working on a mixtape titled 'The Revival' that will be dropping in August.
During an interview with DDotOmen, Cardiak of Lloyd Banks “Start It Up” fame was asked about producing music for 50 Cent’s upcoming album, which he replied:
I actually have a joint on his next project called “Outlaw”, It’s crazy!
Not much revealed about the song, but the title alone should give you some input on the type of material you may hear on 50′s upcoming LP.

Hip-hop’s new-school frontrunner Drake just released “Find Your Love,” the second single from his forthcoming debut album, Thank Me Later. This Kanye West produced track finds the rapper singing about what he describes as “one of my worst character traits.” Apparently the 24-year-old has the worst luck picking the right woman. “I look for love in the wrong people,” he recently told us. “It just always seem like the women I find are poison for me. I love women that can just walk into a room and stop the whole area. And I think that those initial qualities always end up getting me hurt, which is a crazy thing for a guy to say.”
The beat’s hip-hop-meets-Phil Collins pop sound is similar to the dreary tunes found on West’s last album 808's and Hearbreak. But Drake, sans the Auto-Tune West used, sings well here. On “Love,” Drake, hurt by women many times before, hopes his next relationship doesn’t crash like the others. “I’ve been through this s— so many times that if I go through his again,” he says of the song’s concept, “I better find your love. You better be that one. Because if not, I don’t know what type of guy I’m going to turn into.”
Broken hearts aren’t typically the topic of hip-hop songs. Drake believes that his supporters, especially the guys, will be able to relate. But he knows he’s taking a chance. “Find Your Love” is an extremely vulnerable song,” he says. “And it’s actually a huge risk. It almost feels like the song should be performed by a woman. I’m just hoping that men really hear the song and they’re honest with themselves. I know a lot of men feel that way.”
