Well, an actual new version of Comeback Season may not be in the works. However, Drake came back with two new tracks in which he’s actually spitting. Whether or not these make it onto any new album remains to be seen. I mean, Drake does have a habit of putting loosies out, having them catch fire, […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Drake – More Life
Yesterday, Aubrey Drake Graham released a 22-track “playlist” sort of album. That album, More Life, more than lives up to its name. See…I’m a Drake fan, so my opinion can be viewed as biased.
