James Blake has revealed that he has been working with Drake on the Toronto hip-hop artist’s forthcoming album. Blake joins several other A-list collaborators such as Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, TNGHT’s Hudson Mohawke, and 2 Chainz, who have also worked with Drake on ‘Nothing Was the Same.’
The idea for the collaboration came about when Drake met James Blake backstage at a concert. Blake told Rolling Stone, “I saw him at a show and told him I had some ideas knocking around, and he invited me to Toronto . . . Anything that comes out of that studio, I’m happy to be involved.” Blake did not reveal his specific role in the album but he did confirm his involvement with the project. The album is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, September 24th via OVO/Cash Money/Republic.
