Well, the wait is over: After weeks of speculation, Drake has chosen to go with the home team and sign with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Records, according to a source close to the situation. The deal breaks down as a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, with Universal Republic distributing. Drake’s management was adamant that he should be viewed as an independent artist, although Universal will distribute the project. 

What are your thoughts? I kinda gotta say, I agree with Drake – you need an army behind you…much success to Drake!

 


Welcome!

Joaquin

On yesterday, Wednesday; June 24, 2009 @ 6:44PM – I recieved a text msg from my buddy Nuke (of Dead Stock), saying; it’s my pleasure to present Joaquin Macias Strickland to the world, 7lbs 12oz.

With that said, on behalf of the whole Grafwurks team, we would also like to welcome the little homie Joaquin Macias Strickland to the world. I know little man has a stack of sneakers waiting for him.

Congrats to Nuke and wifey; Esther!

Well what more can you say about Drake; from Degrassi to making some dope music. If you haven’t heard about Drake, then you must be living under a rock. Drake has been taking the hip hop/r&b scene by storm. Drake right now is one of my artists, dude is on point as far as lyrics goes! I’ve been meaning to post a little something on Drake. So after the jump, you’ll get a quick Drake run-down…enjoy!

Breaking Barriers 4 x July 11th
June 25, 2009, 7:21 PM
Filed under: General | Tags: , , , ,

Breaking Barriers is an annual event benefiting the Comin’ Up Gang Intervention Program of Greater Fort Worth. This will be the fourth installment of Breaking Barriers. The Club is located 2 miles north of downtown Fort Worth in the Northside Cowtown area and is easily accessible through public transportation as well as multiple highway routes. With the event being held at a community type center, it is a ZERO-Tolerance Zone with adequate security on hand. To date, the track record has been good and there have never been any major problems or negative publicity from the event.

The main goal of this jam is to raise money for the Comin’ Up Gang Intervention Program of Greater Fort Worth for their youth and gang intervention programs. One of their most successful programs is the Comin’ Up Gang Intervention program which works with local youth to get them off the streets and into a night program. The Club provides a safe facility where they can hang out with other peers, play basketball, breakdance as well as help guide both teenagers and adolescents to a productive adulthood. The second goal of this jam is to provide a platform for interested youths to gain recognition amongst their peers and others. Competition drives innovation. We see a lot of local youth going to these gyms to practice their breakdancing skills. This is the perfect opportunity for them to get some real experience in applying what they’ve learned…boosting confidence and self-esteem.

Past supporters and sponsors of the event include Vitamin Water, Red Bull, Panic Clothing, BBoy City Austin, BGirl City, Cousins Barbecue, Curtis Kornegay Jr. D.D.S., and more.

Sage Francis – Sick Of Wasting (Mixtape)
June 25, 2009, 6:59 PM
Filed under: General | Tags: , , , ,

I wasn’t sure if I would ever release another mix of this sort after the last one, but it’s been a couple years since my last official album and I’ve accumulated a large number of “left over” tracks that never found their way onto an official album. I also opened up the 4-track vault this year and was able to unearth some solid material that dates back to 1996.

My music career, as most people know it, essentially began with the Sick of Waiting mixtape in 1999. Now that I’ve typed that out I’ve realized that we’re essentially celebrating the Sick of mixtape series’ 10th birthday. Hot damn. It seems like just yesterday I was dubbing all the original tapes, cutting and pasting the album covers, writing out the album info on the stickers, and selling them hand-to-hand at shows. Time (f)lies.
