As a long time friend of one Aubrey Graham, the Canadian Duck Down representative takes some time out to share some thoughts.

I had the craziest dream last night which is what warranted this. I’ve been wanting to say stuff before but held back for various reasons and as I’m not causing any harm I felt staying silent was unjust. My music is meant to be heard. So instead of doing anything official I decided to go this route to get my thoughts out and keep it moving.

I made the actual title “Drake Started From The Bottom” because people always interview me asking my take on that whole thing that he never was at the “bottom” so to speak. But he was musically, not that all the other things in his life didn’t work well for him but there were people who wouldn’t work with him or give him an ear simply because of all the things we all believe to have boosted him to the position he is in. I was fortunate enough to be a friend in his early stages and truly witness his struggles and growth and can speak on some of them. #realtalk

Right before I closed the laptop lid for a much needed break from the internet, Bootleg Kev hit me with a new video from an artist out of Phoenix by the name of Futuristic. Can’t really say I’m a fan of his rap alias, but it’s the music that counts… and that he’s got covered. Check out the clip above for “Long Days, Cold Nights” which features Funk Volume’s very own SwizZz and can be found on Futuristic’s recently-released album, Chasing Down A Dream. And just incase you need another preview, hit the jump to watch the video for “Don’t Mind If I Do” featuring Dizzy Wright and Jarren Benton.
