Video: MTV Mixtape Monday: Drake (NYC Takeover) + Nipsey Hussle

MTV Shows

The “Degrassi” actor-turned-Young Money affiliate kicked it with the radio kingpin, holding court on his career, talking about his latest mixtape So Far Gone, and traveling with Flex to Cam’ron’s first Manhattan party in three years. He might not have made history just yet during his brief appearance. But this kid fits in pretty fast.

He raps, he sings, and his mixtape is a mix of mellow love tunes along with the braggadocious lyrical onslaughts. Now, the 20-something upstart has one of the biggest buzzes going for a new artist since Jeezy first emerged.

On Wednesday, Drake posted on his Twitter page “Young Angel and Young Hova.” The rapper confirmed that he was collaborating with Jay, on a Just Blaze-produced track, when he talked with Angie Martinez on New York’s Hot 97 on Thursday.
