The “summer vibes” that Drake promised have been amplified fourfold. Featuring Young Thug, Latto, and 21 Savage, the 37-year-old rapper dropped three new singles.
On Tuesday (Aug. 6), the Toronto superstar used his Instagram story—account titled @plotttttwistttttt—to share the tracks. This wasn’t your typical album release for him. A link to 100gigs.org appears after the words “100 GIGS FOR YOUR HEADTOP” in the page’s bio.
A landing page with several folders shows when you click the URL. The first, “NEW,” features three songs: “Blue Green Red,” “Housekeeping Knows,” and “It’s Up,” which features Thugger and Savage. It also features the “Big Mama” artist.
Since his dispute with Kendrick Lamar, Drake has not released music with a lead performer until these records. He puts his many enemies aside to contribute to “It’s Up,” an afrohouse hit with Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows,” an almost-remake of “Rich Baby Daddy” with Latto. On her X account, she even posted a picture and a sample of the song.The remaining folders contain Drake’s unreleased gems, which are not whole songs but do contain a number of tracks. Instead, it’s video from his January 2023 Apollo gig, his 2016 album Views, his tours, his band practicing “Sooner Than Later,” and more. It is actually one hundred gigabytes of random data.
His supporters aren’t griping, albeit it’s puzzling why the 6 God decided to spill the beans on a Tuesday afternoon. In the past few months, they have been well-fed thanks to his appearances on multiple albums: Gordo’s DIAMANTE, Camila Cabello’s C, XOXO, and Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything.” Also, he collaborated with Lil Yachty on the unofficially released tune “Super Soak” because of problems with sample approval.
