<p>Right peeps for some very exciting news!!!&nbsp; It&rsquo;s official. The most anticipated hip-hop album of the year finally has a release date. Drake&rsquo;s debut Thank Me Later will arrive on May 25, Rap-Up.com has learned. The Canadian singer-rapper has been in the studio with a who&rsquo;s who list of collaborators including Jay-Z (&ldquo;Light Up&rdquo;), Kanye West, The-Dream (&ldquo;Shut It Down&rdquo;), Sean Garrett, and Boi-1da, who produced the first single &ldquo;Over.&rdquo; The project, originally scheduled for an early spring release, has taken a little longer than expected as Drizzy strives for perfection. &ldquo;This is my first album and it takes a lot for me to commit to a song and be like, &lsquo;I like this enough that I&rsquo;m gonna put it on the album,&rsquo;&rdquo; he told Rap-Up.com. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s gotta be something that I feel is timeless and is better than anything that I&rsquo;ve ever done.&rdquo; Drake will travel across the country performing material from the album on his first headlining trek, &ldquo;The Away From Home Tour,&rdquo; kicking off April 9 at Penn State University, and wrapping in Houston on May 20, a few days before the record&rsquo;s release. &ldquo;Over&rdquo; is currently No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, while a video for the song, directed by Anthony Mandler, is set to debut in the coming weeks.
