The album is a good listen, and there are a few good tracks, however, it’s not hitting. Not only is it pretty boring for the first few tracks, and that fact it’s long, there aren’t really interesting tracks. Each keeps the late-night/Rnb Trap vibe, but the album doesn’t feel complete. The only tracks that stood out to me were FPS and 8 a.m. in Charlotte.
J Cole did amazing, the beat was incredible, and the writing was on point. 8 a.m. in Charlotte is my favorite off-the-tracks, and when Drake showed it a day before, I was hoping for more tracks like that, but there weren’t. “Calling For You” featuring 21 Savage is another one that I enjoyed, except for the girl that was in the bridge/interlude, which just made the song worse, but without her, it would’ve been good. Another track I would like to talk about is “Gently” with Bad Bunny.
Honestly, that should’ve either never been put on the album or made a Drake feature since his Spanish was decent. Lastly, “Rich Baby Daddy” with sexy Red and SZA.
I don’t have a problem with Drake having her on the album, but as a chorus is a different story. Should’v have made SZA do the chorus, with different lyrics. How do you have Sexy Red and SZA on the same Track? I would say that they cancel each other out, but they don’t. The worst part is, it’s catchy. I’ll admit the song is stuck in my head, but that doesn’t mean I like it.
However, we can all agree that Adonis had the best feature in the song. Not only did he create the Album Cover, but his lyricism really brought a new meaning to the rap game.
Other Notes
Drake is taking a break, due to health issues, which is fine. You should always take care of yourself first.
