A Rare Gem: Lil Wayne Features on Drake's HYFR Album

Deep within the depths of hip-hop history lies a forgotten treasure – a rare promo CD single for one of Drake’s most critically-acclaimed albums to date: Take Care. But this isn’t just any ordinary pressing – it holds an even greater value due to its inclusion of none other than rap legend Lil Wayne on the track “HYFR (Hell Ya Fucking Right).”

This ultra-rare gem was produced in-house by Universal Records’ promotion department, making each copy a true collector’s item. As stated clearly on the label itself: 'Mega rare promo only demo test CD single / This promo CD was made in-house by Universal Records promotion department.' The scarcity of these CDs is further emphasized with the ominous warning: 'Never sold in stores.'

For die-hard Drake and Lil Wayne fans alike, this album represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extremely limited piece of hip-hop history. But what makes HYFR so special? Let’s dive into the story behind one of rap's most iconic collaborations.

Released in 2011 as part of his third studio effort (and first on Young Money/Cash Money), Take Care was intended to solidify Drake’s position at the top echelons of contemporary hip-hop. Featuring a who’s-who list of guest artists, including The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar, it wasn’t surprising that fans were eagerly anticipating every new leak from the project.

And then came “HYFR.” With its infectious beat courtesy of producers Noah '40' Shebib and Ninetech Beats – complemented by Drake's signature emotive delivery over Lil Wayne’s trademark rapid-fire flows – this joint was destined for greatness. But what truly sets it apart is its candidly honest lyrics, as captured below:

'All my exes live in Texas / Like I'm George Strait /

Or they go to Georgia State where

Tuition is handled by some random nigga that live in Atlanta.

That she only see when she feels obligated.'

The raw vulnerability and honesty oozing from these lines perfectly encapsulates the essence of Drake’s artistry – a masterful blend of storytelling, introspection, and unflinching truth. And with Lil Wayne joining forces on this track, it's little wonder why HYFR has become one of hip-hop's most revered collaborations.

So if you're an avid collector or simply looking to add another rare gem to your collection, don't miss out on the chance to get your hands on this extremely limited edition promo CD single. With only a handful known to exist in such pristine condition, it won’t be long before these highly sought-after items disappear forever.

Grab onto HYFR while you can – because once they're gone, these rare pieces of hip-hop history will truly be lost forever!
