In 2009, Sade announced her comeback. Later in the year, she released her first album in ten years. At the time, Drake was putting together his Thank Me Later album. Based on his popularity, he was confident he could get Sade to record on his album. Sade, however, gracefully turned him down.
Drake has often said he wants a long and successful career in hip hop. He wants a legacy that can be compared to that of Lil Wayne and Jay-Z. For years, Wayne has been trying to rise to Jay-Z status in the game. However, even Jay-Z had to jump through hoops to land a Sade collaboration.
For her Ultimate Collection album, Sade allowed Jay-Z to record a verse. The verse will be a part of the song, "The Moon and the Sky" remix. 40, Drake's producer, provided production for the remix. The song was supposed to be kept under wraps, but it was leaked to the internet sometime yesterday, confirming the Jay-Z collaboration.
