Drake Feat. Rihanna "Take Care" (DJ Cable Edit)



Here's a little something for all you Urban/Open Format DJs (and Drake fans too).

As you know, the ladies love that "Take Care" joint, but in all honesty it's a bit too mellow; especially when it comes to dropping it in the middle of a set. As a result, I made this edit for when I play an Open Format set (Hey, I have to pay my bills somehow).



I've basically added some 808s and the Think break, sped up the tempo a little bit, and given the arrangement a quick shuffle. The tune ends on a loop of the Gil Scott-Heron sample.

The end result is a slightly beefed up version, with a DJ friendly intro.

Enjoy.
