Although few have heard of Drake in the United States, he has built up a strong reputation in his native Canada. Despite being best known for his role as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation, the Toronto native also has a rap career, the pinnacle of which came with the Trey Songz-assisted Replacement Girl (the first Canadian unsigned video to chart on BET’s 106 & Park countdown). Making an even bigger move, Drake has recruited arguably the most popular hip-hop artist in the world (Lil’ Wayne) for the singing rappers’ ballad on how stale a relationship can get when nothing is Brand New. Enhanced by a slow beat from the T-Dot’s premier producer Boi-1da, Brand New is a lead up to Drake’s third mixtape/album, So Far Gone, available online this August.
Bout time! MH!! Check it out! they finally got ya boy on here. This song is off the chain. I been playin the Og for about a year now. Wanye honestly takes something away form it vocally. His part, dispite being waynly clever is completely off key. Drake on the other hand lays his vocals down smooth. Wait till yall hear dude rhyme though. T. got a star on their hands.
Wow! Its great to have some different r&b artist untill Wayne comes along to have is name on the song and fuuck it up. But despite Waynes terrible performance it's great vocals from Drake and a kill beat. Wayne needs to stop bein on songs called brand new too. It's gettin old. I'd give it five if nopt for wayne sooo...... BANGER!!!
yeah i used to watch degrassi.
but anyway the song i like the effort put into it, and i like the beat and his singin cuz its jus relaxing. but i dont want to play it over and over..
YES! I slid Z this exclusive. I will say, the original is MUCH BETTER! I think the clout that Lil Wayne has will get more people listening to the track and therefore giving Drake more buzz. The original gets 5 stars, but the remix on gets 4 because Wayne should have rapped on this rather than sung. But you guys need to check more out regarding Drake. He's a very talented rapper. Hopefully the booth will feature one of his hip hop joint on here soon. Also, search YouTube for the Brand New Remix featuring Young Son. FINALLY! DRAKE SON! Degrassi heads stand up....lol. Forreal though, check him out.
FINALLY !!!...DJ-Z IM SOO GLAD U FINALLY PUT HIM ON!!!...this nigga is crazy!...yall need to look him up on datpiff.com and download his mixtapes...he is fresh...real talk!...CLASSIC!...~
It's too slow, really. I like slow r&b songs, they are chillin and sexy, but not when they are like this! The music is good and Drake can sing, but the song itself is boring. Lil Wayne doesn't fit the track at all to me.
Not to pick on J Worthy, but I'd love to see the ratings for this song if Wayne wasn't featured on it. Such a boring track from start to finish, so predictable its hard for me to actually finish it.
yea heard dat song wit him n trey songz like almost 2 years ago....loved it den n its still n rotation on my ipod...dis song is cute but i'd prefer a different rapper....weezy is dat nigga but soooo tired of HEARIN him n SEEIN him everywhere!!!
This is a song 4 when u r with ur girl or buzzin one. But either way, not what i was expectin since WAYNE is on the track. Its iight, 2 chill 4 me though.
the vibe of this song is sooo chilll... lil wayne didnt really add anything much to the song other than his name he didnt ruin the song or improve it. but realll chill song. the original is better without him
I'm feelin this right here! I'll give this the stamp of Certified DJ BLAZE BANGER easily. Lil Wayne doesn't sound annoying when he sings on this track like he does on some others. I like his vibe he brings in. I guess I'll go check out Drake sometime soon!
this song is coo i wouldn't call this a banger...it could use a lil hype in the hook just to keep things fresh cause it gets to repetitive...lil wayne wasn't so bad but he did get annoying after the hook...i'm like damn he still singin?
This song is great. The feel of the song is so chill. Wayne needs to lose the voicebox bad. Drake sounds really good. Degrassi was the @*#$! so I got love for him.
. . . . Whoa! my bad im still tryna recover (u sure this is the dude from Degrassi?) Dude got talent. The song itself got a chilled vibe to it. Even Wayne turned it down a bit to add to this track.
YES. I love this. I love how they slow it down I am REALLY feelin' this track. This is a nice switch up from the flow lil' wayne usually throws out there. Anyways I like this track.
I think Drake is really close to signing with "Young Money", but I feel when it's all said and done, he's going to turn out to be an even more epic artist internationally than Lil Wayne will ever be. Be sure to check out Drake's Official Blog: http://www.allthings-fresh.net. Your boy Young Son's "Brand New Remix" was featured this week, along with his freestyle over Drake & Kardinal Offishall's "The Last Hope" featuring Andreena Mill from Drake's 2007 Mixtape Album "Comeback Season. An all-star Milli Mashup featuring Cory Gunz, Jadakiss, Drake, Young Son, Gillie Da Kid & Cassidy is also featured.
I have not heard the original, but I AM FEELING THIS ONE RIGHT HERE!! He probably could release this as a single. Better then the song with him and Trey Songz. Drake sings better then he raps!!
i luv this song i heard it like a few months ago n i wus BUGGIn like amug i luv him on D-grassi but I LOVE him mor as n artist n this is REAL R&B like the type u listen to a tnight when he feel like him and just sit and think about what to do with your future with this person. erbody shud ask themselve if anythin they doin brand new...love so much
