It’s not just going to be an album release concert…

Billboard.com spoke with Drake about how he plans to celebrate the release of his second album, "Take Care," which will hit stories on Tuesday, November 15. Here are some highlights:

How he plans to celebrate the release of "Take Care": "I don't want to just do an album release concert. So, me, I go to Jamaica a lot -- I love Jamaican culture -- so what I'm gonna do, I'm challenging Lil Wayne to a sound clash, that's what I want to do. I don't want to just perform by myself. So I want Wayne to come out on stage with a mic and I'm gonna have a mic, and we're gonna have both our DJs, and we're gonna battle song-for-song and see who the people love more. And that's how it's gonna go. That's something that I'm serious about, he's serious about it too. I already issued the challenge. He's serious about it, he accepted like, ‘Man, I'm ready. I'm gonna eat your food.' I'm like, ‘height, we'll see.'"

If he wins his clash against Lil Wayne: "Maybe he'll want a rematch [laughs]. That's what usually happens. Maybe we'll have to rematch in another city."

How he intends to spend the rest of his 20s: "Right now and for the next few years it's just to be young, to be hungry, to represent everything that I stand for to date and more. To stand firm on my character and who I am, and to keep providing people with great projects, great music, exciting moments."
