Hey Meg, what’s the word on road?

Diced Pineapples
Rick Ross feat. Wale & Drake

It’s like heaven opened and angels started singing! Personally, I have been dying for Wale and Drake to bless us with a collaboration for forever, and featuring on Rick Ross’ upcoming album God Forgives I Don’t, set to release this Tuesday July 31st, was the perfect way to do so. Diced Pineapples was produced by Cardiak and T-Minus. The soulful slow-tempo track opens with Wale’s infamous spoken word poetry, with drake grazing the chorus with his sing song lyrics that would make any girls swoon. Rick Ross discussed coming up with the concept of the song, saying that eating more fruit was something suggested by his doctor after having a series of seizures last year. Thus came the title Diced Pineapples.

When I got out of the hospital — you know, I had a seizure last year — when I was leaving, the doctor told me, ‘You gotta eat some more fruit, drink you some water, eat fruit and just relax for a little while.’ My fruit of choice was pineapples. For the next three weeks, I woke up every morning and ate diced pineapples, and I put the concept together. Drizzy came in, as well as Wale, and it’s kinda like, ‘She could be my diced pineapple. This special lady, she could be what I wake up to every morning and help me get by every day. -Rick Ross

Take three of the most popular men in Hip Hop right now, add a sweet hook, great lyrics, an amazing beat and concept & you’ve got Diced Pineapples. Something that will definately be in heavy rotation for me for the rest of the summer and after that. Take a listen!
