On the eve of his 30th birthday, Drake hosted a very special episode of his Apple Beats 1 “OVO Sound Radio” show by announcing a new project titled ‘More Life’.
‘More Life’ isn’t being called an album or a mixtape by the rapper and is instead described as a “playlist,” containing all original music from him and maybe even other members of the OVO family. The 6 God dubbed it a playlist because he wants it to become a soundtrack “to your life.”
“I’m off like the mixtapes, you know, I wanna do a playlist, I wanna give you [wanna give you] a collection of songs that become a soundtrack to your life,” he said on the show. “[I’m] really excited you know, I had a great tour, I had a great summer and most people I guess would probably go take a break, but me I just wanna get right back to it.”
This new project will follow his record-breaking ‘VIEWS’ album that dropped in April and will be released sometime in December. The cover art shows a throwback picture of his pops, Mr. Dennis Graham, writing lyrics on a notepad.
The big announcement was followed by Drizzy dropping four new songs, which may or may not be on ‘More Life’. You can listen to those below.
“TWO BIRDS ONE STONE”
QUOTABARZ
“It’s only me but I’m seeing four shadows in the light / My demons visit me every night / To the most high I’m forever indebted / I know I gotta pay something, I know that day’s coming / I put it all in the music / Because if I don’t say it here then I won’t say nothing”
“Used to carry a lot of dead weight like a pallbearer / People too scared to tell the truth so it’s all dares / Counted us all there and we all square”
“My numbers out of this world / No wonder they got me feeling so alienated / You were the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry and famous / Rap like I know I’m the greatest / Then give you the tropical flavors / Still never been on hiatus / You stay xanned and perked up / So when reality set in you don’t gotta face it”
“WANNA KNOW” (REMIX) Feat. Santan Dave
QUOTABARZ
“I only link with the real ones, lord knows / On fo’, I love to see a fake nigga go broke / I don’t run to twitter with the things I know / I fall back to see how it unfolds”
“SNEAKIN'” Feat. 21 Savage
QUOTABARZ
“Shit ain’t been the same like before / I still love it but I used to love it more / Face time with my shawty on tour / And she texting purple hearts cause she know we at war”
“I dont need love I’m the goat / I just hit the beat and float / And I’m selling out arenas, but you putting on a show”
“FAKE LOVE”
QUOTABARZ
“Yeah, straight up to my face, tryna play it safe / Vibe switch like night and day, I can see it like right away / I came up, you changed up, I caught that whole play / Since then, things never been the same”
