Drake On Touring Without Young Money, "I Didn't Want To Stick Anybody In My Opening Slot"

Rap sensation Drake recently discussed his current Home Away From Home tour and explained why he did not recruit Young Money artists to tag along for the nationwide run.

From Drake's perspective, his YM gang are currently busy working on their own projects.

"A lot of the Young Money artists are doing their own thing," Drake said in an interview. "I know Nicki [Minaj] is recording her album. Gudda is on a run right now. It was never brought to me that anybody had the time permitting to be on this tour for two months. Everybody is working on their albums and stuff like that. I love what a lot of people in Young Money have going on right now. But at the same time, I did say to myself I didn't want other rappers on this tour opening up. I didn't want to stick anybody in my opening slot. Nicki Minaj is a superstar, so to ask her to be on [the tour], unless we split the tour and both had equal time."

According to the Canadian-based rapper, his set features a live band.

"It's a musical experience, it's about a mood," he says. "Women can come out and feel sexy. It's gonna be good. I picked the show that I would be at, you know? I don't know how people are gonna receive it. I hope that they come to my tour with an open mind, because it's not me and Pleasure P and Trey Songz. It's not what people would necessarily expect. It's not the tour that's based around hip-hop or R&B music. To me it's based around refreshing sounds."

He is also being accompanied by fellow Canadian artist K-OS.

Titled the "The Away From Home Tour," Drizzy plans on making stops at Penn State, Michigan State University, West Virginia University, University of Central Florida and the University of Kentucky among other schools. He will also be performing at this year's New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The Grammy-nominated artist will be taking fellow Canadian-bred MC K-OSwith him on the road as well as synth pop band Francis and The Lights. "Away from Home" is part of 5th Annual Campus Consciousness Tour, produced by Pretty Polly Productions and non-profit environmental organization Reverb.The tour will kick off on April 5 and run until May 8. Fans can visit prettypolly.com for more info and a full list of tour dates.

Next month, Drake is going to hit the stage at this year's Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey.

Drake and Ke$ha are the latest artists added to the Bamboozle Festival roster, joining MGMT, Paramore, Mike Posner and Weezer. Drake will be performing right before Paramore on May 1 and Ke$ha on both May 1 and 2.

Jae Millz On Young Money's Future Plans, "As Soon As Wayne Gets Home, Tha Carter IV Is Dropping"

Young Money's Jae Millz has promised that Lil Wayne's Carter IV will be released as soon as his label boss is released from jail.

According to Millz, the album is already complete.

"Yeah there's definitely going to be a tour soon," Millz said in an interview. "As soon as Wayne gets home, Tha Carter IV is dropping. It's already finished; he finished it before he went in so as soon as he gets out he's dropping that and we hitting the road. It's no name for it yet or whatever but it's definitely going to happen. By then too Nicki [Minaj] will be out, Drake will be out, whoever's up next album should be getting ready to come out and we should all have our singles out so everything gonna really be moving by then. I really can't wait for that."

Last February, Wayne talked about the impression he hoped to give fans with Carter IV.

"Yeah, Tha Carter IV, interesting," Wayne told radio host Tim Westwood with a smile. "Very interesting. It's interesting, I hope so, I hope it's incredible and all those things. But like I said, I think they know the velocity of Carter IV without me even having to speak on it. I think they know what that's gonna be. It should be [a defining moment]. It should be. Honestly, it should be."

According to music video director David Rousseau, Wayne filmed footage for a track from Carter IV before beginning his one-year jail sentence last month.

"There isn't a title for it," Rousseau said of the Carter IV song. "Honestly, I can't tell you too much about it. That was a complete secret. We had to kick everyone off the set for it. No photography, even their official photographer had to leave. That's under wraps. The album is still under production. It's a crazy song."

Lil Wayne engineer KY recently spoke on the rapper collaborating with Eminem and how many records have already been recorded for the project.

"Wayne said I'ma get Em on ['Drop The Rock.'] When Em sent the verse back we was goin crazy cause he killed it. I think it's one of the best tracks on Rebirth...Of course after Rebirth the Carter 4 is up next, he already has about 20 records for it done already."
