New Music: Drake – Draft Day (prod. by Boi-1da)

Drake Releases “Draft Day” Produced by Boi-1da

Last night Drizzy casually slipped a soundcloud link on his Twitter page, which led fans to his new joint “Draft Day” produced by Boi-1da.  In the opening line he shouts out Johnny Football and even has Johnny featured on the cover art.  Now, people who follow my twitter seen my rant about how I feel about Drake’s career last night.. However, I promised my Twitter followers that I would listen to the song with an unbiased opinion, and be fair. Besides, part of the problem with Hip Hop culture today is biased bloggers who force their personal opinion down fans throats without fairly reviewing the music.

Not me. But I do plan to Say Somethin’..

Drake has ALWAYS been a dope writer, can dude can sing. He has a full catalog of proof of this.. Nobody can say that Drake can’t rap, and that he can’t sing.  Even better, whenever he links up with Boi-1da, we can always expect him to knock it out of the park.  Their chemistry always works in Drake’s favor. As my man MeRCY (@MusicByMeRCY) said, their chemistry can be compared to Prodigy (Mobb Deep) and Alchemist’s.  His flow on this joint was dope, his delivery was also on point. Even though the beat was kinda laid back and relaxed, Drake’s energy was a notch or two above that, without being too aggressive, it worked perfectly. The song overall is very nice, he doesn’t sing at all, he just raps. But that’s okay, I’m more of a fan of his rapping personally. I think the fans enjoyed it a lot as well, even people who aren’t fans of Drakes had positive responses to the release.  As always, I’ve posted the link AND the actual soundcloud player for ya’ll to enjoy.  Check out Drake’s new joint “Draft Day” and Say Somethin’ to let us know what you think!
