MTV’s Jayson Rodriguez talks with Drake above about his forthcoming R&B mixtape, It’s Never Enough which features the first track he put out “I Get Lonely Too”. While Drake had originally announced the tape was coming around the holidays, he explains that he’s on a hiatus from doing R&B tracks  He’s using the break to continue recording his sophomore album coming in 2011.

“I been rapping a lot lately,” Drake told MTV News. “Me and 40 (Noah Shebib, his producer) have been doing some great rap music, so I sort of took a hiatus on the R&B for a second. It’s cool to do R&B, I love it, but it’s just hard for me to always commit to it. Because some nights, I get in there and 40’s beats, as melodic or R&B-driven as they may be, just have that right pocket that I just wanna spit.”

“I did this song the other night; I’ve now completed the second song for my album,” he revealed. “So I only had one song before for the new album; two nights ago, I did the second song. I’m loving it. I’m loving the sound. I’m excited again.”
