Phonte On Drake’s BMI Award Dedication
In an interview with The Source, Litte Brother’s Phonte reacts to Drake’s thanks during his BMI Songwriter Of The Year Award speech this past weekend. He also touched on Drake’s reluctance to collaborate with him and 9th Wonder.
You’ve always said Drake was your homie, and he stated in the past that he wanted you on his next album. Is that still happening? To my knowledge, it’s not happening. We’ve made contact with each other but all of my attempts to make something real happen have led to a dead end. I saw that he dedicated his BMI award to me and while that was a very noble and thoughtful gesture, I’d much rather he had dedicated himself to finishing a verse for one of me and 9th’s songs. That, to me, seems like a more tangible way of showing gratitude. But with that said, I’m still a fan and I think he’s an incredibly talented artist. When ‘Take Care’ drops, he’s got my money.

“If I could call it something it would be ‘stadium soul, The songs are just bigger. When I say soul I mean, it’s the soul of the emotion that comes from within.
