Drake’s new mixtape cover, which could be mistaken for a Chik-fil-a Cow’s suicide letter.
On February 12, 2015, practically six years after the release of So Far Gone, rapper/hip-hop artist Drake, released a new, surprise mixtape.
If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late pulled, as some would say “a Beyonce,” with the sudden release of this tape. Originally planned on being released for free, Cash Money Records decided to release the mixtape retail, while counting the mixtape as a contracted album. Possibly allowing Drake to soon leave the label and follow in the footsteps of his mentor Lil Wayne.
This proved to be a very smart move by Cash Money Records, for within the first week, the album almost reached Golden Status sales, and IYRTITL now sits atop Billboard’s top albums, R&B/Hip-Hop albums, and Rap albums in the United States.
This album is riddles with unique beats, and easily transitions from Drake’s soulful singing, to his rapid flow. Filled with content of his early life in Toronto and Tennessee, Drake reveals his roots and then turns those roots into a magnificent plant being this album.
I listened to this album continuously over our mini break, and it is certainly one I suggest.
PS. I don’t know how the rap game is is going to behave, knowing that Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, and many others are releasing albums this year.
