Drake Lists Home Studio For $250K An Hour

by

Drake’s always one to make money moves, but letting fans into his property seems like an extra step ahead. Moreover, the Toronto superstar recently put his home studio up for rent on the popular recording space app StuFinder. Not only that, but an hour in Drizzy’s studio costs a staggering $250,000 dollars, so those sessions better be quick. Still, the listing mentions that all custom recording equipment forms part of the price, making it almost all-access. Amid new music releases and more on the way, an engineer and Drake feature won’t come with the hourly price range, and likely costs a lot extra.

Furthermore, the 36-year-old recently showed a new song “Rescue Me” on Sound 42’s latest episode of The Fry Yiy Show on SiriusXM. What’s more is that, beyond excitement for a new record, he sampled a voice clip from Kim Kardashian. That already would’ve been enough to stir the pot. However, she actually talks about her divorce from Kanye West in the clip, adding another layer to their civil war. “I didn’t come this far, just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” she remarks in the snippet.

Drake’s Studio Available For $250K An Hour

Still, it’ll take some further convincing to fully win Drake fans in Latin America back, for reasons that neither a studio rental nor new song can replace. The 6 God unfortunately fell victim to some festival mishaps for his Lollapalooza shows throughout March. For example, his Argentina set was reportedly late, shortened, and blocked from the festival’s typical livestream, resulting in disappointment. Things escalated further when he canceled his headlining slot in Brazil, only to be spotted in Miami partying with 50 Cent the night before. Despite fan outcry, that’s not necessarily (or probably) the reason why he changed plans.

Meanwhile, another unreleased track also has fans ready for even more new Drake music after two albums last year. “I need someone to be patient with me / Someone to get money, would not take it from me,” he raps on an Instagram snippet. “They don’t even need to be as famous as me / I don’t think I meet ’em at the places I be / But deep down I think about you all day, mami.” Maybe that kind of excitement is what might prompt artists to create their own OVO-tinged magic in the superstar’s studio. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Joe Budden Addresses $250K Jay-Z Verse Rumor

by

Joe Budden recently addressed rumors that Jay-Z was down to remix one of his tracks with a verse… if he forked over $250K. Moreover, that’s an insane amount even by today’s feature standards, but the podcaster couldn’t confirm or deny that that was the amount. Furthermore, he addressed such rumors on the Drink Champs podcast on Revolt TV, after hosts DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. pressed him about it. While he spoke about trying to get Hov to remix his hit “Pump It Up” from 2003, he confirmed reports that the New York legend was down to do so. However, Budden hesitated on the details.

“That’s the rumor. That’s a rumor,” the former Everyday Struggle host stated. “I didn’t personally ask him. I couldn’t personally speak to him,” he said before stating that A&R Skane reached out to Jay in his stead. At the time I’m not ranting anywhere. I just don’t know how to receive that. I just know that I don’t have 250 grand, I think Webb put the battery in my back. [He said], ‘You gon’ let him do that? Nah, you gotta get to the studio right now!’ I don’t think that was a big number, I think that was his number. ‘That’s my number to rap on this new artist’s remix.’ It was just big in my world, but it wasn’t a big number.

Jay-Z May Or May Not Have Wanted $250K For A Verse, Says Joe Budden

Their conversation about the rumored “Pump It Up” price begins around the 5-minute mark.

“Listen, I’m super young in that moment,” the 42-year-old continued. “I wasn’t in the studio when [Skane] had the conversation. I knew that they had some type of relationship. It was a Just Blaze beat, and I was green behind the ears. I just thought that it would get done. I didn’t know anything about the business and how things like that are supposed to go. That was par the course… It was big to me because it was unattainable… but the blessing was that he gave a number.”

Moreover, these comments come after the “Big Pimpin’” star’s comments about not charging often for features. Furthermore, he said “it’s actually always been mostly relationships” to Kevin Heart on his Hart to Heart series last year. “Sometimes it’s talent and sometimes someone asks me to be on something. Pretty much every song that I’m on I’m asked to be on. I don’t ask people to be on their songs. I never charge.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Joe Budden and Jay-Z.
