Drake's 'If You're Reading This' May Count Toward Cash Money Contract
. (Radio.com) Earlier, Drake released his new project If You're Reading This Its Too Late out of nowhere. He called it a mixtape, but it was only available for purchase via iTunes. Many fans wondered if this had something to do with a possible split from Cash Money In a new interview, KP, the VP of mixtape site Datpiff, has revealed that the project was originally meant to be a free Gangsta Grillz mixtape hosted by DJ Drama--but KP made clear that the "mixtape" just may count towards Drake's Cash Money album requirements. "Originally we [Datpiff] were in talks to release it for free�and have DJ Drama host and even make it an official Gangsta Grillz�however the label was not in favor of that and they struck an agreement to release the project the retail route and it would count towards one of his albums," KP explained to Hip Hop DX. "It was a mutual decision since he wanted to give it away. They [the label] said, 'Hell no,' not in those words, so they 'agreed' to do it this way as a middle ground and it would count towards his Cash Money deal album total. The label had zero input or creative control over If Youre Reading This It's Too Late." Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
