Drake debuts new tracks
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 September 2011
Bigwigs at Drake’s label Universal Music will no doubt be delighted to learn of the wayward rapper’s latest indiscretions, which, over the weekend, saw Drizzy take to his personal blog to deliver a couple of new tracks.
First up was ‘Club Paradise’, a meandering ode-to-ladies on which Drake showcases his distinctive quick-switching between rapped verses and a silkily-sung hook. Second in line was ‘Free Spirit’, a stronger cut inspired by a Princess Diana quote. Yes, really. Backed up by guest MC Rick Ross, Drake spits a string of encouragements (“tatt my name on you so I know it’s real”) to his female fans over woozy saxophone tones and a muted backing track, demonstrating a verbal mastery over snappier tempos as well as the slow, viscous flow he’s better acquainted with.
No word yet as to whether either of these swear-laden offerings will feature on Drake’s forthcoming album set ‘Take Care’ (after this, Universal reps would probably rather they didn’t), but both are free to claim over at October’s Very Own, along with Drizzy’s fresh and free remix of Wacka Flocka Flame’s ‘Round Of Applause’. Here are the new songs:
