Money to Blow, Drake Readies First Single
Birdman, Lil Wayne, and Drake have “Money to Blow” but they didn’t blow much of it on this video… Green screen special.
As for Drake, he is working on his first single, “Shut It Down,” with producer Omen and The Dream due out in a few weeks while his album Thank Me Later is slated for release in early 2010.
“We’re filming a video for it soon helmed by Hype Williams. The track will be serviced just a few weeks after,” Omen tells Billboard.com.
The song came about when Omen teamed up with Drake’s longtime musical collaborator, 40, and together they came up with the production. “I was working on some drum patterns and 40 had the melody going. 40 is very skilled and has a crazy ear for obscure sounds and chords,” says Omen. “It took us the whole night to come up with the track, but we finished it and played it for Drake the next day, who already had the song’s concept.”
The idea for the track, which Omen describes as a “Prince-like, powerful song,” is about “empowering females. Drake said he had a song idea called ‘Shut It Down’ aimed at club-going females. When they go out and they get dressed up and put their makeup on and get their hair done, they have the capacity to shut the club down,” Omen recalls.
Interesting… I will be awaiting it’s leak release.
