Thank Me Later is the debut album to be released by Canadian rapper Drake. The album is slated to be released in late 2009 on Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Motown, and will feature confirmed collaborations with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Danny![1] and Young Jeezy.[2]

Background

In an interview with Complex.com, Drake stated that this album would have a different sound from his mixtape So Far Gone.[3] Drake has also stated a desire to work with Kanye West, Andre 3000 and Jay-Z on this album.[4][5][6] Drake performed on Young Money Entertainment's group single "Every Girl" and his own single "Best I Ever Had" was accompanied by a music video, which was directed by Kanye West.

On May 28, 2009, independent label Canadian Money Entertainment sold an unauthorized Drake album, The Girls Love Drake, on iTunes, Rhapsody.com, Shockhound, and Amazon.com. Drake's management sent a cease and desist order to iTunes, which promptly removed the album from sale on June 5. Drake plans to sue Canadian Money.[7]
