Drake recently confirmed that he has  finished a track with Jay Z titled “Light Up” for his debut album, Thank Me Later.

The Canada native announced back in June about how everyone was pushing him to do a collaboration with Jay, and now the song has become a reality.

“When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, ‘Man, this is a moment,’ ‘This sounds like where I’m at in my life.’ So, we took it and 40 did what he does to pieces of music that I see potential in — he took it to the next spot. Jay-Z’s on it. The song is phenomenal. It’s done now,” Drake said. (MTV)

The Noah “40″ Shebib produced track marks the second collaboration between the rappers after Drake was featured on Jay’s song “Off That” from The Blueprint 3, but this is the first time the two will be rapping on a track (Drake sang the chorus on “Off That”).

Aside from Jay Z, Drake plans on having collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and possibly Sade on his album.

Thank Me Later is set to drop in stores March 2010.
