Drake Reveals June Release Date For 'Thank Me Later'

By Allen Starbury | Published 04/06/2010

Drake This week Young Money Entertainment's Drake kicked off his Away From Home Tour in Pennsylvania. But earlier in the day, the rapper revealed some news with MTV -- the release date for his highly anticipated debut Thank Me Later.

Drizzy told MTV on Monday (April 5) that his debut is set to drop on June 15th.

So far, the first single off the album is "Over", but while on tour Drake is performing a new track called "Fireworks."

The rapper explained the single "Over" and how it introduces what's to come from his album.

"Here was this calm before the storm, and 'Over' represented the storm to me. It's the moment. I wanted to emerge at first from this album and just let people know 'This is how I'm coming out in the public eye. I'm ready for anything.' Then when you get the album, it's like, 'Oh, he's still human. He's still thinking the same way.' I wanted people to understand I could have lost it. 'Over' could have been my entire album. Just 'cause that's what this industry and game will do to you if you lose yourself."

That's what I like to hear drake keep grinding that what the music industry is they control you to work not saying its "over" keep making hits. when I hear your lyricst every bit is a classic homie my money would be on your album. And why yall think drake is a snitch how about if someone put a gun in your head? That would make you make you tell the cops dummy!

I dont understand why people are calling Drake a snitch. I dont care how "gangsta" your favorite rapper is, if who have gotten his shit taken from him, he would have called the cops on them too. To be honest he nots calling the cops bc he saw a murder or knows someone who is moving weight, he is protecting his ass. Grow up haters.

Well, Drake is good...yeah, but he tends to run out of words it seems, yeah. And if you notice very often he ends his lines with yeah. Just listen to him.. yeah. Talented? Ok, yes. The next great hope of Hip-Hop? Don't think so....yeah.
