New details have emerged on Drake's long-gestating debut album, Thank Me Later. For starters, the Canadian MC is now aiming for a March 2010 release date for the album.

During Wednesday's Grammy nominations concert, where Drake received 2 nods for his monstrous single "Best I Ever Had," he attributed that part of delay on his album to scheduling issues. "It's just pulling everybody together: I had a wish list for my managers of everybody I wanted involved that stem beyond hip-hop. I'm trying to pull it all together."

Drake's wish list includes Jay-Z, Kanye West, Sade, Lil Wayne, and Young Jeezy.

Nas can't catch a break these days. As if it wasn't enough that he's embroiled in a legal battle with Kelis, the Queens MC now has a pending court date in Georgia for charges related to DUI. Nas and his brother Jungle (Jabari Jones) were pulled over in September, according to a police report obtained by MTV News. Nas was taken to the nearby Henry County police station, where he was charged with one count of driving under the influence and released. TMZ obtained a dash cam clip of the incident.
