Drake Enlists The xx, Florence and The Machine for New LP
Drake has been doing his thing on a European tour, and maybe there's something in the water, but talks are high about collaborations on his forthcoming set, Take Care. His debut album, as well as his So Far Gone mixtape impressed listeners and critics with it's range and genre-bending ability. It makes perfect sense that some non-Hip Hoppers would be amongst the first making the news of potential collaborators. Reports state that Drake is looking to Jamie Smith of the xx for some production on the new LP, and Smith also spoke about working with Drake saying, "He's a fan of the xx and my remixes and stuff, and I sent him some beats. We're just going to do some stuff for the next album."
Another future collaborator comes in the form of Florence from Florence and The Machine. Drake brought her out during a tour stop in London to duet on his song "Fireworks", and is looking forward to hitting the studio. He told The BBC, "Last night, we went to dinner at the Wolseley, and we were all very loud and obnoxious in there. We were all just wasted. It was this weird hippie joyous occasion [in the studio]. But on any other evening, me and Florence can get in the studio and do something incredible, and we will. We listened to all her new music, and I picked which song I really want to get on."

Shady Records Inks Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf
This is some pretty big news for Hip Hop squads, and follows the recent trends of all-star Hip Hop crews the likes of Young Money, and G.O.O.D. Music. Slaughterhouse's signing to Shady Records has been brewing for a while, but up until now nothing was 100% final. The news that Eminem has also inked Yelawolf is pretty much out of the blue, so props to everyone there for not letting the cat out of the bag. The announcement comes via XXL's February issue in which Em, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf grace the cover. Check out the press release as well as the full cover after the jump.
