To those of you who actively holding candlelight vigils in anxious anticipation of Drake’s R&B mixtape, you can now extinguish those flames. The news comes as Toronto’s crown prince has officially decided to forgo the release of a fourth mixtape to focus all of his energy on his second proper album, Take Care. The rapper penned a letter to fans explaining his decision.
“I am truly enjoying my life right now,” Drake wrote. “Its been so long since I have wrote [sic] anything on here because I feel like for a while I was trying to digest it all and save it for the music. … I have decided that I am going to push ‘It’s Never Enough’ and focus completely on delivering Take Care to you all. I feel like my mind is truly ready to make this next album NOW and I don’t want that feeling to escape me. … I am in the airport right now headed to L.A. to meet up with Boi 1da tonight. It’s all feeling right. It’s truly been a pleasure to speak again. Thank you for all your energy. Soon. Guidance.”
The mixtape gods have heard my prayers. An artist he is … a singer … not so much. –djr
