Drake’s ‘All Me’ Links 2 Chainz, Big Sean

Drake is back this week with a new song, “All Me,” featuring 2 Chainz and Big Sean. “All Me” is the latest release from Drizzy as he prepares for his new album “Nothing Was The Same,” scheduled to be released in September.

“All Me” also features hip-hop’s new favorite comedian, Aziz Ansari, who alludes to a hilarious  exchange of his character in “Funny People,” proclaiming, “I’m really stepping up my game! These b–tches gotta start paying me for this! Can’t get no more free Randy!”

With this new track, Drake has provided his fans with yet another anthem – one we’re sure will soon all over the airwaves and also expected to be performed at Toronto’s OVO Fest.

According to vibe.com:

“I came up, that’s all me/ Stay true, that’s all me/ No help, that’s all me,’ Drake rap-sings on yet another tweetable hook, yet he asks for an assist from 2 Chainz and Big Sean on his new single “All Me.” With the Toronto spitter hosting his annual OVO Fest in four days, there’s a high probability that this new self-made anthem will creep up in the set list. The Key Wane-produced triple-header delivers an ominous backdrop as the trio of MCs detail the trappings of their success.”

Drake’s “All Me” is a great addition to the slew of new music he has put out recently as he gears up for the “Nothing Was The Same” release. Yet, while songs like this create anticipation for a great album, there’s also some speculation that it may be one of his last albums with Cash Money/Young Money—as there have been rumored disagreements within the camp. Label mate, Nicki Minaj, did nothing to help those rumors in her radio interview a few days ago, responding very vaguely to a question about Drizzy’s departure.

Whether Drake stays or goes, one thing seems for sure – with hits like “All Me,” October’s Very Own will be a September smash with the release of “Nothing Was the Same.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
