Drake Delays R&B Mixtape, Focusing On Sophomore LP

10:02 a.m. · February 8, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Here's some (kind of) bad news for all you Drake fans who love his oooh-baby tracks: He's indefinitely delayed his R&B-centric mixtape, It's Never Enough, to focus on his sophomore album, Take Care. I write that this is only "kind of" bad news because this might mean that his second record will be more focused than his debut, Thank Me Later. I mean, Drake did admit that his first album was rushed, so this will hopefully be for the best in the long run. Even with that in mind, it's still pretty frustrating to know we won't be getting that mixtape. Anyone want to bet we never even hear it?

Drake wrote the following blog post the It's Never Enough postponement.

I am truly enjoying my life right now. Its been so long since I have wrote anything on here because I feel like for a while I was trying to digest it all and save it for the music. But its finally set in that I am living my dreams and doing with all my closest friends from Toronto. I wake up and never know what to expect from any given day but good or bad I always learn something from it. I have decided that I am going to push "It's Never Enough" and focus completely on delivering Take Care to you all. I feel like my mind is truly ready to make this next album NOW and I don't want that feeling to escape me. My mother is doing well for all who have been asking. She went to her first swimming class the other day and won gold...not really but you know what I mean. OVO gang is all smiles and 40 is making some of the best music I have heard in my entire career. I am in the airport right now headed to LA to meet up with Boi 1da tonight. Its all feeling right. Its truly been a pleasure to speak again. Thank you for all your energy. Soon. Guidance.
