Drake Performing With Jay-Z

Drake is set to make his return to performing after having knee surgery. What better way to do this than to perform in his home town Toronto with Jay-Z.

Toronto fans are in for a Halloween treat when Jay-Z brings out Drake for his first performance since undergoing surgery.

The “Best I Ever Had” rapper, who has been absent from the spotlight after his September knee surgery, will join Jay-Z on stage at the Air Canada Centre in his hometown tonight during The Blueprint 3 tour with supporting acts N.E.R.D., Wale, and J. Cole.

“This weekend is gonna be my first time back on stage,” Drizzy tells Rap-Up.com. “I’m performing with Jay-Z when he comes to Toronto. This will be my first time back out there. I’m kinda like nervous/excited.”

When asked if he would perform “Off That,” his collaboration with Hov from The Blueprint 3, he responded, “No, I don’t think so.” Instead he revealed that he will perform his own single. “I’m actually performing ‘Successful.’”

New Lupe Fiasco Mixtape Coming

Apparently Lupe feels he's not as relevant as he used to be so he has taken it upon himself to come up with a new mixtape. He plans to continue his Fahrenheit 1/15 series. Is he getting on his Lil Wayne No Ceilings thing, just killing beats?

"Not a diss of the list...knew I wasn't gonna make it ha!...but I'm using the fact that I wasn't on it as an excuse to just start wrecking shit on a frequent basis so by the time the next one comes out I'll be number 1,2,3,4 and 5..." Lupe Fiasco

You can get parts 1-3 here to catch up.

Jay-Z- Empire State Of Mind music video

All I gotta say is Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Hype Williams, and New York City.

Wale- Beautiful Bliss (ft. Melanie Fiona & J. Cole)

I was having a bad day until I found this. What an amazing track from a group of Roc Nation artists. Wale brings J. Cole for a crazy verse and the beautiful Melanie Fiona on the hook. Produced by Mark Ronson and DJ Green Lantern and is off the Attention: Deficit album that apparently leaked from what I've heard.

Beautiful Bliss

Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Timbaland- Ease Off The Liquor (ft. SoShy)

Sounds like Timbaland's album might have the same fate as 50 Cent's yesterday. I've got a feeling these leaks are just the beginning of the soon to come flood. This track is kinda funky as his sound usually is. The end is sick with the Merengue style.

DJ Khaled- Fed Up (ft. Usher, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Drake)

The first single from DJ Khaled's new album Victory is a monster. It's produced by The Runners and the features are nuts. Just wish Drake's verse was a little longer. Clean version for now. Shouts to OS for track. UPDATE: Dirty thanks to Papa Smirf.

Lil Wayne To Jail

Apparently stemming from the gun charge in 2007, he is being forced to go to jail.

Lil Wayne will be forced to plead out to a jail term in New York City on Thursday, according to sources with AllHipHop.com.

The rapper is expected to accept an 8-month bid in jail over his alleged involvement with a loaded .40-caliber pistol gun found on his tour bus in 2007 while in New York.

The 27-year-old now faces 15 years in jail for each count of criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a loaded weapon.

“Wayne is going to plead guilty,” a source close to the case told AllHipHop.com, stressing that this was definitely going to happen. The rapper pleaded not guilty at press time and has yet to make any such public declaration. “The date is coming up and he’s going to do it tomorrow.”

Wayne is rumored to be willing to accept the deal to avoid a long term in jail over the gun. The same source said the term will begin in February of 2010 under the terms of the deal. “If he doesn’t plead, he goes to jail for a long time,” the source said.

“They told him that if he doesn’t plead tomorrow, it will go to trial and then he faces a far longer jail term,” the source continued.

A small amount of DNA may have changed the landscape of the case, according to a report by the Associated Press. There is a “minuscule” amount of the rapper’s DNA on the gun, reports say, and that has strengthened the case for the prosecution.

Another hearing is set to resume tomorrow, where the rapper will reportedly announce his next move.

AllHipHop.com was unable to obtain comment from representatives for Wayne at press time and the rapper didn’t speak to the media at a court date earlier today.

Lil’ Wayne has another trial looming in March over felony drug and weapons charges from a January 2008 police raid.
