Drake says he's going to do what he's supposed to do: hold the fort down for Lil Wayne. Drizzy spoke to Rap-Up.com about Wayne's impending jail sentence next year. Last week, Wayne pleaded guilty to gun charges stemming from a 2007 arrest. Weezy is expected to be sentenced to one year, though he could be out in eight months for good behavior.

"I'll just do what I can to keep the whole Young Money/ Cash Money team going," Drake told the Web site. "I just want to play my part as a team member and keep the brand strong until the boss gets home."

Although no one from the camp wants to see the acclaimed lyricist and charismatic performer leave for even one day, Drake says that Weezy has been keeping positive and making sure that fans will hear plenty of new music, even while he's in prison.

"He's kinda more concerned about getting as much music as he possibly can, so that when he's in there, people are still satisfied musically with Lil Wayne product," Drake explained. "That's just the mind of a true businessman."

Wayne's next body of work will be a freebie for the people: His No Ceilings mixtape comes out on Halloween. Meanwhile, he has yet to release his long-delayed LP Rebirth, which may drop on December 15, the same day as Young Money's album. Drake appears on the latter and also plans to release his debut album, Thank Me Later, early next year.
