Quote:
Rapper/singer Drake has announced that the first single from his debut album Thank Me Later will be “Shut It Down”, featuring The-Dream.
Depsite The-Dreams feature on the song, it was actually produced by Harlem-based Omen, who’s previously worked with Memphis Bleek, Ludacris, Jae Millz, and Fabolous.
Omen describes the song as a “Prince-like, powerful song about empowering females. Drake said he had a song idea called ‘Shut It Down’ aimed at club-going females. When they go out and they get dressed up and put their makeup on and get their hair done, they have the capacity to shut the club down.”
The video is set to be directed by Hype Williams who just shot Drake’s last video “Forever”.
Look out for Drake’s album Thank Me Later which drops February 2010.
