Drake has already been thanked by the fans with a platinum plaque. Now, the 23-year-old says he wants to reciprocate the love by gifting them a free mixtape. His all-R&B project is coming sooner than later, he says.
"Me and 40 working on it," Drake said in Toronto at his OVO Festival. "I got you. I think I got a great body of work with that tape. I'm gonna do it like I do all my other tapes. I'm gonna make a night out of it. Just make sure you're on the Net that night downloading, and it's yours. I feel the people deserve it. It's hard for me to put out free rap albums these days. So the best I can do is switch genres and put something out for free. It'll be yours very soon."
Although Drizzy didn't reveal any of the records we may find on the tape, Mixtape Daily is guessing that the leaked "Fall for Your Type" (the record appeared unfinished on the Net several weeks ago) may appear somewhere on there.
" ''Fall for Your Type' I wish was on there," he said Sunday while talking about records such as "Darlin' " — another leaker — that didn't make Thank Me Later. "But I have other plans for that record, so it's gonna be good."
As for his next official LP, Drake said he may be simplifying his song structure some.
"What I want is just for the records to be able to be played and enjoyed without it being too complex," he explained.

Drake is definitely doing his own thing and it's working for him. Even though he's with the very big (as in numbers) Young Money crew. He doesn't travel with a large entourage. Matter of fact, I haven't seen any other Young Money artists with him in clips from his recent shows.
The Toronto rapper/singer hit up the stage Friday (July 16) at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest and thrilled the crowd performing songs off his gold album 'Thank Me Later'.
Check the show out below.

Countless artists entertain audiences at concerts by bringing someone from the crowd on stage to dance with, sing to or hug.
Drake does it just a bit different. He brings pretty females on stage and breaks their hearts by not kissing them, lol.
Drizzy brought a young lady to the stage at his Ottawa concert Friday (July 16). After a lot of hand waving and gesturing the Young Money mc bent down to kiss the obviously star struck fan on the lips only to jerk his head away at the last moment.
The girl looked pretty confused and a little embarrassed as Drake dismissed her back to her seat. But from what I've read she was only 16 years old and it's obvious Drake knew that.

By now nearly everyone has seen the video of Kat Stacks getting slapped out of a chair and pulled by her hair by a couple of goons in Atlanta.
The goons can be seen telling Kat to apologize to both Fabolous and Bow Wow. Fab came out several days later to deny any involvement in the incident now Bow Wow is doing the same.
He told XXL “Of course I had no involvement with it. It’s so far fetched for me. Come on, man, everybody knows I make records for girls."
Bow Wow has never had a thug image and he isn't trying to establish one now.
“I’m not an evil person, I don’t condone violence. That’s just the type of person I am. I just feel like, if anything, positivity is always the way out. So I think that maybe if she humbles herself a lil more and be positive and go about things differently, then hopefully she’ll be alright…but that’s not my style. I don’t put hits on people, I’m in the music business…if I wanted to fight, I’d be in the MMA.”

From a Jamaican Gully Town to Jamaica, Queens, Young Money's Drake and Lil Wayne have the mixtape circuit in a tizzy right now. Drake's Wayne-featured "Miss Me" — which we told you about months ago — is a must-have for mixtape DJs right now. It may be the biggest new song to hit the circuit in weeks.
Despite all the anticipation Drizzy has for his upcoming Thank Me Later LP (due June 15), the 23 year-old Canadian knows that he is not in any way filling Wayne's shoes. Drake will correct you if you say he's "holding it down" for Weezy during the New Orleans fireman's time in jail.
"You know what, man? I rap and I rap very confident. But in my actual head, I can never hold down Young Money because I'm not Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is who we look up to. He's our mentor. I will definitely do everything to keep the brand going, keep Young Money on people's minds. But Lil Wayne is the only one — he's the epicenter of that all. I definitely don't wanna take on that responsibility. I just wanna put out this album, give the people this great music and have the people understand it's coming from Young Money. If you do enjoy it, then please, give all the credit to Young Money because that's who I represent. But as far as me being able to 'hold it down,' that's not even a conversation. Lil Wayne is Lil Wayne. He's my hero, my mentor and he's the reason I'm here. I do it in honor of him as opposed to filling the void."
"Miss Me" has appeared on the mixtape circuit in a variety of forms. First it was just a Drake verse and an alternate chorus, then it was the Drake verse, alternate chorus and a snippet of Wayne's verse. Finally, the mastered and complete version landed on the Internet and mixtapes this week.
"It's a pretty straightforward [song]," Drake told us when his Away From Home Tour kicked off several weeks ago. "It's a song about being away from what you love and hoping that when you're gone, doing you, somebody out there misses you. It goes for Wayne in his situation and it goes for me in my situation, 'cause I'm on the road for I don't how long right now."
Drake also talks about marrying Nicki Minaj on the track, while Weezy bounces off the walls on a myriad of subjects
