Drake drops a surprise album and breaks a few records

Another month, another surprise release. This time around, our boy from the 6 Drake did the honors with the release of his If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. While Drizzy is usually hit or miss around these parts, the album (or mixtape, if you let Drizzy tell it) is all thriller, no filler and finds the Toronto native snapping on tracks like “Energy,” “Know Yourself.” and “Legend.”

But perhaps most notable to the SoulBounce audience is his track “Jungle.” That’s because it features a sample of Bounce-Worthy artist Gabriel Garzón-Montano’s haunting “6 8” while Drake asks whether his girl is still down for the cause.

Whether If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late is an indication of what’s coming with Drake’s upcoming Views From The 6 or not, it’s clear that this project has struck a nerve. Drake now currently has 14 simultaneous tracks in Billboard’s Hot 100 (10 of which are from this set) and each track has charted on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. 6 God, indeed. -- D-Money
