Drake more life album release date2/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The subtitle of More Life is A Playlist by October Firm, a nod to the fact this isn’t Drake’s true follow-up to Views. Still the best look belongs to south London rapper Giggs, who appears twice and burns through his verse on KMT, where he snarls “Fingers all itching, twitching, looking all jerky / Whipping that white girl, cooking that Cersei.” But in the spirit of a playlist, his guests are given plenty of spotlight: Skepta Interlude proves why the grime star found a fanbase outside of London, and Young Thug on Sacrifices adopts a neat Lil Wayne-esque staccato flow. ![]() His influences now stretch across the African diaspora, but since So Far Gone, Drake’s melodic ability, not rap, has been his true skill.Įven if on top of the pop world, Drake remains obsessed with rap power ranking, and Can’t Have Everything, with the line “We evolved, used to think vacation meant Niagara Falls”, shows he’s fine to keeping find new fights. Even with an appearance from South African house producer Black Coffee that cluster recalls Drake’s pre-Views pop turn in the exquisite 80s R&B pastiche of Hold On We’re Going Home. Last year Drake pivoted into afrobeats and dancehall with One Dance and Controlla, and the early More Life run of Passionfruit, Get It Together, Madiba Riddim, and Blem proves that wasn’t a passing interest. More Life offers little solace for those who never bought what the Canadian rapper was selling but for his fans that gave his songs billions of streams last year, they’ll hear no issue. Views, Drake’s commercially successful, but critical maligned 2016 album saw fatigue set in with the rapper regurgitating tales of fame and ex-lovers. Initially the delays appeared odd for what was supposed to be a stopgap release, but at 22 songs this clearly wasn’t a minor project for the rapper. Unsurprisingly, that release date proved to be soft, and after numerous delays More Life: A Playlist by October Firm premiered on Saturday night on OVO Radio, his Beats 1 radio show. Last October, Drake announced More Life with a December release date along with a few songs, including the quintessential narcissistic Drake hit Fake Love. ![]()
