Canadian rapper Drake has slammed Universal for taking down two new tracks from his official blog.

Drake posted the tracks 'Marvin's Room' and 'Trust Issues' online earlier this month ahead of the former's official release in July, but the songs have since been taken down and removed from other websites.

"Universal needs to stop taking my f**king songs down," Drake tweeted Thursday. "I am doing this for the people not for your label."

The rapper is signed to Young Money Entertainment, an imprint of Cash Money Records which is itself owned by Universal Motown Records.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Drake will perform at the BET Awards 2011 later this month, where he is nominated in three different categories.

Drake will release his second studio album Take Care on October 24.
