So I heard them and yeah, it’s very Drake. Drake has been kinda hush on the releasing new music side but last night he hit the internet with a new website (ovosound.com) and four brand new tracks.

Finally! We have a release date for his next album, Nothing Was The Same. SEPTEMBER 17. As for the new tracks, Drake’s given us a “Jodeci Freestyle” featuring his Roc Nation buddy J. Cole, “The Motion” featuring singer/producer Sampha, a switch-up on the pace with a bouncy party track by ATL trio Migos titled “Versace,” and another R&B-a-la-Drizzy single, “Over Here,” with PARTYNEXTDOOR.

“26 on my 3rd GQ cover,” flosses Drake in the first line of “Jodeci Freestyle.” Yep, very Drake like.

Listen to the tracks below.
