And the hip-hop newcomer was shocked during a recent phone conversation with his jailed boss - when Wayne began showcasing the new songs from hi s highly-anticipated record The Carter IV.
Drake tells MTV News, "I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this… He c alled me the other day from jail and rapped me two verses, man. It really made me, like, ‘I gotta do something different. I gotta get s**t togethe r,’ because he’s really got bars and he’s rapping from a broader life per spective, saying these things people love to hear."
