Drake Shares New Future Collab 'Desires'
Much to fans' surprise, Drake has shared another new Future collab.
Early Friday, Drake di- rected fans to SoundCloud to stream "Desires," a song pre- viously known in an unoffi- cial capacity as "I Know" and teased by Future back in August.
Five years after the release of their still-beloved 2015 joint album What a Time to Be Alive, Future and Drake opened a new collaborative chapter earlier this month with the release of the "Life Is Good" single. The track's of- ficial video currently still boasts an extremely high re- play value, thanks in no small part to the work of director Julien Christian Lutz.
DRAKE AND FUTURE
With its No. 2 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, "Life Is Good" now stands as the highest-charting track in Fu- ture's catalog.
"I'll go like three weeks in between making songs, just because, like, I'm just kind of enjoying life," Drake said
during a Rap Radar podcast interview at the end of last year when speaking on how his upcoming new music plans. "I'm enjoying living, going out with people. Invest- ing in personal connections, and it's just making my music better."

Ludacris visited a South Florida high school on Wednesday with a very gen- erous gift in tow.
The 42-year-old multi-hy- phenate surprised students at Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School with $75,000 worth of music equipment. The donation was part of StubHub's #TicketForward program, a collaborative ini- tiative with The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation that aims to invest $3 million in public school music programs.
"I understand the impor- tance of music education," Ludacris told students, as reported by NBC Philadel- phia. "It’s very important to me."
As part of his visit, Luda participated in Q&A session during a school-wide assem- bly, sharing advice for stu- dents and encouraging them to never give up.
"If it weren’t for individu- als reaching back and giving

me that confidence, I would- n’t be here today," he ex- plained. "If you get knocked down nine times, you get up 10. Just keep going."
In addition to the new equipment, Ludacris also surprised the school's band director, Kevin Segura, with two Super Bowl tickets.
Fantasia And Husband Kendall Taylor Are New Grandparents
Singer Fantasia became a whole grandmother right under our noses.
The 35-year-old “Free Yourself” singer is married to Kendall Taylor, and not only does he have a son named Treyshaun who was already the father to a young boy named Khoen, but Trey just welcomed his second child at the top of the year, named Kyan. The new addi- tion, an arrival of a new baby, has been quite exciting for the Grammy winner, but it’s also made Fantasia and Kendall very busy. In their latest Taylor Talk on “The Freedom of Friendship,” they admitted that tending to their growing family and their businesses causes them to not be as available as some friend and extended family would like.
“I’m a businesswoman,
