“I don’t know who [DJ Skee] came up with that rumor to be honest, but I always knew what Jay’s first single was going to be,” the hype-building Toronto MC told the BoomBox this afternoon. “Me and Jay did a lot of work together. Maybe at one point he was considering doing it and someone got over-excited and put out a press release tweet that I was going to be on the first single.”

So what does Drake, who is working on his Young Money/Universal Republic studio debut ‘Thank Me Later’ following the rousing success of his mixtape ‘So Far Gone,’ think about the chest-beating track? “I think Jay made a great choice,” he says. “I think the ‘Run This Town’ song is phenomenal. I think Kanye kills that s—. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track.”

As for now, Drake is optimistic that he will still appear on Mr. Carter’s upcoming September 11 release. “I had a conversation about it a couple of days ago,” Drake says of his studio work with the Jugga man. “We have more than one record to pick from. Jay-Z is one of those guys that’s just too good. I would be definitely disappointed if I wasn’t on it. I think it’s going to be a legendary project. I have my fingers crossed.”

He kinda hinted to MTV on the Best I Ever Had set that the collabo wasn’t a single.
