Drake Releases “Blue Inexperienced Purple”

I don’t see this observe making it to Spotify or Apple Music.

Guess what! Drake simply launched 100GB of content material through a drive earlier at the moment. Holy shiznit! The drive options behind-the-scenes footage and tracks, together with a collaboration with Jin the MC. Bear in mind him!?

Earlier than anybody will get upset, simply to make clear, Drake didn’t drop a observe with Jin The MC—I’m simply messing round. I did hearken to “Be taught Chinese language” earlier at the moment and genuinely suppose Jin is underrated. Anyway, out of the three new tracks—”I’m Up” with Younger Thug and 21 Savage, “Housekeeper Is aware of” with Latto, and “Blue Inexperienced Purple”—I discover “Blue Inexperienced Purple” to be essentially the most experimental. Right here’s why.

In “Blue Inexperienced Purple,” Drake presents a mixture of totally different personas. You get a Drake who may hail from a spot that’s laborious to pinpoint on a map, someplace between Saint Lucia and Jamaica. There’s additionally a susceptible facet that showcases his softer vocals, and a model that would probably problem Kendrick Lamar. Lyrically, the observe dives into a variety of matters—snakes, attracting girls, and a possible screwdriver stabbing incident. Whereas the music’s rhythm is interesting, the mix of rap and singing kinds feels disjointed.

My unreliable source suggests this is likely to be a possible Kendrick Lamar diss: “Yeah, what number of summers did I run? Like ten I received a present out in London, when? With a clock in a London, yeah, Large Ben Apple Watch suits similar to them However me nah watch face like them They make lyrics for who? Males We make gyal come then come once more.” Hmmm.

I don’t suppose this observe will make it previous this drive…
