Despite being from Canada, Drake spends a lot of time in the United States. Most of his inspiration comes from within the States. His debut album, Thank Me Later, was recorded in the US and it is looking like his follow-up will be too.

One of Drake's favorite songs was "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Aside from the catchy melody, the song stuck close to Drake because he loves New York. The iconic city is where Drake hoped to land one day and he did.

In need of inspiration to put together his Take Care album, it looks like the Empire City will be seeing more of Drake. The rapper plans to spend a lot of time there thinking up new lyrics for the album. Drake and Lil Wayne both are in New York City working on their new music and they will ring in the New Year in the city.

Drake plans to release Take Care sometime in the spring of 2011.
