drakeWhile his June 15th release date for 'Thank Me Later' is still holding steady, Drake released a track list late last week for his upcoming debut. 'Thank Me Later' will feature collaborations with Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Young Jeezy, T.I., Swizz Beatz, The-Dream, and Young Money affiliates Nicki Minaj and big boss Lil Wayne. 'Thank Me Later' boasts production from Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, and of course ace production collaborator Matthew "Boi-1da" Samuels. Samuels provided Drake with the album's lead single "Over", along with Drake's previous breakout single "Best I Ever Had" and super collaboration "Forever" with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. Boi-1da is present more than once on 'TML' with the Young Jeezy assisted "Unforgettable" (co-production with Noah "40" Shebib) and "Miss Me" with Lil Wayne (also co-produced by 40). The track list and credits are as follows:

1. Fireworks (Feat. Alicia Keys) (Produced by Crada & Noah "40" Shebib)
2. Karaoke
3. The Resistance (Produced by Noah "40" Shebib)
4. Over (Produced By Matthew "Boi-1da" Samuels & Al-Khaaliq)

8. Shut It Down (Feat. The Dream) (Produced by Omen & Noah "40" Shebib)
9. Unforgettable (Feat. Young Jeezy) (Produced by Matthew "Boi-1da" Samuels & Noah "40" Shebib)

While gearing for his own album, Drake also took some time to fling some verses at Rick Ross for his upcoming 'Teflon Don' project. Drizzy will be riding with Ross on "Aston Martin Music", a follow-up from the 3-part "Maybach Music" song series. Once again a J.U.S.T.I.C.E League production (having produced the epic "Maybach Music 2" featuring T-Pain, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and almost Jay-Z), "Aston Martin Music" has Drake singing on the hook and rapping. While Jay-Z didn't make the final cut for Ross' MM2, he will be present on 'Teflon Don' for an upcoming track that is not yet titled.
