Though still working to complete his highly anticipated debut album, Thank Me Later, Drake recently confirmed that he has finished Light Up, the much talked about song that features both him and rapper Jay-Z.
"When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, 'Man, this is a moment,'" said Drake of the Tone Mason produced song. "This sounds like where I'm at in my life. So, we took it and 40 [Noah Shebib] did what he does to music I see potential in - he took it to the next spot. Jay-Z's on it. The song is phenomenal. It's done now."
Drake and Jay-Z first collaborated together on Off That from Jay's latest album, The Blueprint 3, but the Timbaland-produced track only featured the Canadian rapper on the chorus. On this song however, both artists will have a full verse.
The Young Money rapper is hoping to turn his debut album into a unique coming-of-age story that will satisfy his fans. "It's just really trying to tell the greatest story that's never been told, which is the story of a rapper's come-up, and tell it without being corny or over-bragging or sound like, 'Feel sorry for me.' It's going to be interesting because I'm really going to have to dig deep and tell stories that people can relate to," promised Drake.
