Much has been made of Drake’s highly-anticipated second album, Take Care.
Now, the Toronto emcee has released the album cover, along with the following statement from his blog:
“Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
See you soon.

Take Care is set to feature Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Stevie Wonder, and The Weeknd.

UPDATE: Drake took to his OVO blog to reveal that he’s delaying his upcoming sophomore album from October 24th to November 15th on account of sample clearances. In his message, he explains that the LP will have 19 songs including two bonus cuts, and that he will announce more dates for his “Club Paradise tour soon. Read the full message below.
The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. 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 they 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. 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. New dates will be released in the next week…see you all soon.
