![[DRAKE] Mayhem Morearty (Feat. Alias Donmillion & Drake) - Now Were Talkin (Remix)(2008)
NEVER BEFORE ON YOUTUBE RARE DRAKE FEATURE!
Ive been putting off posting this one for a while. This is a rare and controversial release. This song comes from the lone studio album of rapper turned snitch Mayhem Morearty. This song Now Were Talkin features Toronto rapper Alias Donmillion (who was fresh off a two year prison sentence for carrying a firearm) and a young up and coming Toronto rapper named Drake. In a twist of fate, Drake would turn on and publicly denounce Mayhem Morearty later on due to his snitch stigma. Enjoy!
