When Drake's 'Thank Me Later' album leaked in early June, most people didn't expect the track 'Up All Night,' featuring Nicki Minaj, to be the album's banger. With names like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Alicia Keys gracing the LP, it's easy to understand why. Yet, many are looking to 'Up All Night' as one of the record's best.Backed by the gritty, bass heavy production of Boi-1da, 'Up All Night' might be catching some off guard, as most would assume the collaboration to be a love song. Yet, it's one of the heavier tracks on 'Thank Me Later,' full of the braggadocio lyrics we were looking for when Drake promised an album influenced by family, money and women. Hitting back at the haters, Drake boasts, "I'm about whatever man / F--- what they be talking about / They opinion doesn't count / We the only thing that matters."
Already one of 2010's most talked about releases, 'Thank Me Later' officially dropped on June 15. You can check out 'Up All Night,' and other Drake tracks on AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First Radio.
