Drake's courtside seats at a Raptors game featured faux icicles, promoting his upcoming album 'Iceman'.
House of Balloons is made up of juxtaposing elements that seem as though they would collide in anyone else's hands, but in The Weeknd's, they blend so seamlessly you would think they were always meant to be together. The Toronto artist born Abel Tesfaye was well aware that sex and drugs usually make a good team with rock 'n' roll. With House of Balloons, The Weeknd essentially said hold the rock 'n' roll - allow me to fold R&B into the mix.
Yeat and EsDeeKid have dropped a new song together, 'Made It On Our Own.' The track arrives alongside a video, directed by Director X, that they filmed at Drake's Toronto mansion (although Drake himself does not appear).
He added when he gets back to the classroom in Toronto, he's going to tell his students about the experience. "I'm going to tell them that when I went on stage, it was completely surreal," he said. "This is a project that reflects a lifetime's worth of work for me and for everyone involved." "You just keep putting in the work and you keep believing in the arts. You keep believing in the process and the craft and and it can lead to amazing things."
J. Cole continues to be the preeminent face of a specific microgenre I like to call Podcast Rap, the general idea being that you don't have to listen to these songs more than once, but they'll give a roundtable of dinguses something to chew on for a week. "What If," off Cole's new album The Fall-Off, is an instant Podcast Rap classic.
Carter made the team relevant, guided them to the second round of the playoffs, but was ultimately traded to the New Jersey Nets for nothing. Vansanity (as he was nicknamed) was one not only the most popular player on the Raptors but was one of the most popular players in the NBA. He was the best dunker in the league, as highlighted by the famous 2000 NBA Dunk Contest and he made everyone in Toronto proud that he was ours.
The rapper, known on his tax form as Charles Wingate and known by his old Harlem associates as Charley Rambo, made his name in the rap game during an all-too-brief run in the 2000s, as one of the most colorful members of Jim Jones' Byrdgang, his solo offshoot from the Diplomats (although due to his growing up with rappers Cam and Mase, Max is like honorary Dipset).
