For additional coverage of Drake, who maintained the #1 spot for his “Hotline Bling” single, watch the following DX Daily:
As the Vice President of OVO Sound and October’s Very Own, even I am wondering when Drake is going to drop the Views from the 6 album. I promoted it to be January 6, 2016. But it was not released. So with that said and done. All I can say is this. It has to be today January 16, 2016. I thought it was going to be dropped on 4:16 pm, but he said the 6 God so I can assume it will at 6 pm today. Drake is yet to pick me up from Florida, because I had to take a break since March 2015 due to personal issues. I been dying to come back into the field since October 2015. But again when it’s just a two man crew, it’s not that easy. Before people talk sh-t, I was also the former boss of Queen Bee entertainment for a very long time.
Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? Mmmmm, oh my god! Stop fuckin’ lying!
As the Vice President of OVO Sound and October’s Very Own labels, since 2005. I am putting Drake in movies, such as the Beast from the X Men. And another movie, which is a horror. I am going to put him as one of the main actors’ in a film about Jordan, Minnesota. Where he is an leading FBI agent, who witnesses paranormal events. So I got two movies for him and I am thinking about having him do both this year.
G Eazy has the best album out right now
Also I am going to address the terrorism issue of Siewchandra, Rasmin Samnath, Vivian Lieboff, Joe, Nick, Harvey Rosenbaum and Margaret Pettis from South Florida. On television. This also includes Farah Rahman, Faria S Khan, Jonathon Lauf, etc.
