With his EP still doing fairly well on the charts, Canadian rapper Drake sat down with Shockhound.com for a candid interview on the direction of his upcoming solo debut album "Thank Me Later", as well as his single "Fear" In a statement that may surprise many fans of the rapper, he revealed the the single "Fear" took him eight months to write, because he felt that he lacked the experience to write a song which he intended to be so raw and introspective.

"I did one-and-a-half verses of 'Fear'and quit, I had stopped after I said the line, 'I never cried when Pac died, but I probably will when Hov does.' I took a break after that because I didn't know where to go from there, and my story wasn't complete yet. I didn't have the song title. I didn't have the hook. I didn't know where I was going with it. I just knew I had a place to start, so I let it sit for six to eight months."

When he finally did finish the song, he said that it was eventually what he was trying to make, saying that it was very reflective of where he was at the moment. The rising star also spoke about about his upcoming album, shedding some more details on the expected sound.

"Lyrically, I want to keep the album as genuine and honest as 'Fear' is, but musically there will be a little more energy. There will be more moments of triumph, because my life is the best it's ever been in my 22 years of existence. I want my music to reflect that, but I still want to be able to relate and connect with people."

Fear Is currently in heavy rotation at radio stations all over, despite some outcries from fans that he took a cheap shot at 2pac in the song.
