The new Drake and Jay-Z collaboration leaked earlier today. I have been waiting for it for ages and it didnt disappoint. The track sees Drake and Jay each spitting 32 bars each, with a hook in between and at the end. The beat is quite minimal, reminiscent of Jay’s “Beach Chair”, I think that it suits this collaboration very well.
My only criticism would be that Drake seems to be narrowing down his subject matter down these days to how he doesn’t like being famous and it fucks up his relationships… lets hope after the first album he can find other things to rap/ sing about.
Favourite Lines:
Drake: Rolexes, Chauffeurs and low fades/ I keep thinking how young can you die from old age
Jay-Z: I once was cool as the Fonz was/ But these bright lights will turn you to a monster
