Scorpion is the fifth studio album from Canadian rapper Drake. The album features guest appearances from Jay-Z, Ty Dolla Sign and Nicki Minaj as well as posthumous appearances from Micheal Jackson and Static Major. The album features the singles 'God's plan' and 'Nice for what' which helped the album gain platinum status by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) on the first day of release.
Drake je umělecká přezdívka třiadvacetiletého Kanaďana Aubrey Grahama, který se proslavil jako herec v televizním seriálu, ale opravdové slávy se dočkal až s vydáním své rapové mixtape nahrávky So Far Gone v roce 2009. Byl nominován na Grammy a dvakrát získal kanadskou prestižní cenu Juno. Spolupracoval s takovými hiphopovými velikány jako jsou Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West a Lil Wayne. Thank Me Later je jeho debutové čtrnáctiskladbové album s mnoha hvězdnými hosty a první recenze nešetří chválou.
V Americe album vyšlo již minulý týden a okamžitě šlo na první místo prodejní hitparády.(Universal)
Peter Cunnah and Al Mackenzie, aka D:Ream are probably best known for their hits "Things Can Only Get Better" and "UR The Best Thing", or that they had a famous scientist play keyboards for them... However, there is so much more than that to discover. They have had two UK Top 10 albums: 1993's D:ream On Vo1 and 1995's World plus ten Top 40 singles. Things Can Only Get Better was no.1 for four weeks in 1994 then was famously co-opted as the anthem in 1997 by Tony Blair's Labour Party, writing D:Ream into English history; pop, political and otherwise!
New album The Best Thing is a collection of these hits, remastered from the original 2" tapes. Also included are unreleased live versions of tracks from their 1995 Shepherds Bush Empire gig, three unreleased demos including the original instrumental version of Things Can Only Get Better, two newly commissioned remixes from Mark Knight andIllyus & Barrientos and finally some re-found unreleased remixes from the archive by Sasha, Leftfield, MK, Sure is Pure and Joy.
The CD format will include extensive sleeve notes by Nick Duerdenand a collection of unseen pictures from the band.
