Drake recently delayed the release of “Take Care” due to three samples needing legal clearance.
The Young Money emcee announced on Saturday that his sophomore album would be pushed back from his birthday, October 24th, to November 15th, saying on his October’s Very Own website “So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. 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 the way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together.”
The Toronto native added that his college performances will be postponed as well “Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools.”
On a more positive note, “Take Care” producer, Noah “40″ Shebib, announced that Andre 3000 would spit on a track, adding to a list of album features that already includes Young Money mentor Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Stevie Wonder, and The Weekend.
Stay tuned to TRACE for updates on new tour dates to be released “in the next week.”
