Drake opens the vaults and lets loose 100GB of previously unreleased footage, artwork, studio sessions, and three new songs.Drake has been relatively quiet for the past few months in the wake of his public beef with Kendrick Lamar, which seemed to hit its zenith back in May. Now, the âHotline Blingâ hitmaker has released 100 gigabytes of never-before-seen footage, including artwork, studio sessions, audio clips, and three new songs.
The files were released on 100gigs.org, with content organized in folders dated between March 7 and June 8. Drake posted a screenshot of the site on his Instagram Stories, with his label OVO Sound posting it to his social media accounts, confirming its authenticity.
The three new tracks are located in a folder named â1_NEW,â â âItâs Upâ featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, âHousekeeping Knowsâ featuring Latto, and âBlue Green Red.â Latto confirmed her participation with a video posted on the former Twitter in which she raps along with her verse on the song. Producer Gordo has also claimed to have produced the track.
Included in the archive are videos of Drake working in the studio with Boi-1da and Noah â40â Shebib, studio footage from the âHonestly Nevermindâ sessions, behind-the-scenes clips from the âHotline Blingâ music video, and tons more. Diehard Drake fans have been treated to a treasure trove of goodies.The Toronto native has been lying pretty low since he went back and forth with Kendrick Lamar earlier this year in a now-historic hip-hop battle, with the latterâs âNot Like Usâ becoming the beefâs strongest contender, which many have dubbed the Song of the Summer. Drakeâs most recent contribution to the fight, âThe Heart Pt. 6, has not been met with a response from Lamar given his overwhelming victory with the success of âNot Like Us.â
Since then, Drake has popped up occasionally, namely on Gordoâs new album Diamonte, and a cameo during PartyNextDoorâs show in Toronto.
