Listen to Views From the 6

Now available on iTunes! Drake's fourth studio album Views From the 6. The review is coming soon, but for now just click the image to listen. Listen to Views by Drake on @AppleMusic. https://itun.es/us/RYFfcb (Update) Review  After thoroughly listening to Views over and over again, I've decided that this is a good solid album. I appreciate Drake because he's actually rapping in this album, mixing the classic Drake sound with his new trap like sound. Views from the 6 is like a mix of Takecare and If you're reading this, which is not bad at all to me. He's giving us hip hop listeners the best of both worlds without lacking or upsetting the other side. Views is well balanced giving you enough to keep your ears listening to the entire album. I enjoy the second half of the album more than the first half, and the only thing that throws me off in the album is the placement of Hotline Bling. I completely don't see why that song is at the end of the album whe...

Drake ft. The Throne - Pop Style

As April 29, the release date for rapper Drake's fourth album, Views From the 6 slowly creeps up on us. Drake decides to surprise us with 2 singles titled "Pop Style" and "One Dance." I'm not sure what to expect from Drake's Views from the 6 , but my instinct is telling me he'll deliver another timeless album. Singles like One Dance features upcoming artist Wizkid & Kyla and instantly gives you pop Drake. However Pop Style which features The Throne (Kanye West & Jay Z) does the complete opposite. This is turn up fun Drake, who is kinda taunting with the pop culture, exposing the irony of why he released both songs together. HOV gives his fans a few bars to tease us and Kanye just dominates the song. I guess this is The Throne's way of inducting Drake into their realm lol, well that's how I took the collaboration. I enjoyed the song it's catchy and delievers on each beat. Of course As a HOV fan I would've love his part to be l...

Drake Summer Sixteen

Well Drake decided to not take a break and drop some new music last night. The song is titled "Summer Sixteen" of course referring to this upcoming summer.  Drake premiered a new single tonight on his Beats 1 show  OVO Sound Radio , and he announced that the long-awaited  Views From The 6  will be out in April. Do  I like the song? Yes, the song sounds like the 2015 "What a time" Drake but once again it's catchy. The beat is nice and fitting for that hard bass, while the simple hook makes it easy for you to catch a feel for the song. Inside of the verses Drake references his prolonged beef with Meek Mill and within the first bar takes what sounds like shots at President Obama, "Tell Obama that my verses are like the whips that he in, they bulletproof." Now yes, that statement could be dissected into so many implications, for instance; does Drake have a problem with President Obama preference of music referring to Kendrick Lamar? Or was that a simple ...
