Drake and Rihanna record video for "Take Care"
Drake promised that he would deliver a video for the title track from his Take Care album, and the Young Money rapper has come through on his word. Rihanna joined him on set this week where the two filmed the anticipated music video for their collaboration track. The two stars posed for a photo with video director Yoann Lemoin.
The Jamie xx-produced "Take Care," with its pounding bass drum and sparse piano melody, tells the story of two lovers ready to leave behind their sketchy pasts in favor of a fruitful relationship together. Drake and Rih's real-life fling (one the rapper addressed on 2010's "Fireworks") only helps to enhance the song's appeal. Standing as both an endearing duet and a club banger, it's the danceable, Gil-Scott Heron-sampling house build toward the end of the song that truly makes it a standout.

Justin Bieber Enlists Drake, Kanye West for New Album ‘Believe’
Justin Bieber’s love for hip-hop is extending to his next album. The teen sensation has called on two of hip-hop’s biggest stars for Believe, the follow-up to his 2010 album My World 2.0.
In an interview with Capital FM, Bieber announced that Kanye West and Drake are among the contributors to the album, due in early 2012. “I’m working with a lot of cool people. I’m working with Kanye. Drake is gonna work on the album with me and a lot of different artists,” he said.
Kanye expressed interest after collaborating with the pop star on the Raekwon-assisted remix to “Runaway Love,” while Drake has remained close with his fellow Canadian, who remixed his song “Trust Issues.”
Usher’s protégé has also been in the studio with hitmakers including Bangladesh, Kevin Cossom, and Danja. “What I’m creating for him I think is definitely a more mature sound. That’s where he’s headed now,” Danja previously told Rap-Up.com.
On November 1, Bieber will drop his Christmas album Under the Mistletoe featuring Mariah Carey, Usher, Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men, and Chris Brown, who penned the sexy “Christmas Eve.”

Drake Pushes ‘Take Care’ to November
Drake won’t be celebrating his album release on his birthday after all. The hip-hop superstar has delayed the release of his sophomore album Take Care from October 24 to November 15. In a message posted on his OVO blog, Drizzy explained the reason for the pushback, saying that he is having difficulty clearing three samples in time.
“My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it,” he wrote.
The follow-up to Thank Me Later will arrive in the form he intended instead of being rushed to make the date. He has subsequently moved his “Club Paradise” tour to next year. Dates will be announced in the coming week.
