Hello. After hearing “Vital” (S/O @Ya_Boy_Ace ) I wanted to explore Drake’s catalog further. (I’m not expecting the rest of his stuff to sound like Vital)

I’ve only heard one album in full (Take Care), and my favorite song of his is Passionfruit.

With that said, can y’all recommend me some things:

1. Top 3 best Drake features
2. Top 3 best songs showcasing his rapping ability
3. His top 2 albums, aside from TC, that I can spin

I realize I can explore it myself but wanted to ask the Stans cause they have better taste than Apple Music Essentials, thanks!

I'll give you my favorites/what I think is best

1. Over Here (with PND), Versace (with Migos), Stay Schemin (with Ross)

2. 5AM in Toronto, Do Not Disturb, Tuscan Leather

3. Nothing Was The Same, IYRTITL or VIEWS (You might not get it all from VIEWS on the first listen but a lot have come to appreciate the music after it dropped)

Thank you so much! I will report back

@quadra HE MURDERED OVER HERE WOW!!!!!!

Room for Improvement and Comeback Season mixtapes so you see what it started from

I wish i can listen to some songs again for the first time to

Every song other than his pop catalog

@quadra incredible features you recommended man. I just went through all 3. Stay Schemin got me feeling emotional rn such a good one & Drake killed it

Best solo songs next Ty again!

2. Do Not Disturb, BB King Freestyle, The Calm

Heat

@ghosting does 40 ever produce for Drake anymore, or is his disease too debilitating for him to do so? Honest question

This should be fun. Reserved for now and I’ll edit in a few hours when I have time to give it some thought

Edit: okay here we go. Not a definitive list, but throwing some suggestions out there. Excluded IYRT from my favorite projects simply because I think More Life is criminally underrated and deserves a listen - flawless transitions and excellent rapping

Honorable Mention: Some Other Incredible Tracks

Listening to NWTS, and TOO MUCH just ended my favorite on the album so far. He goes in & the beat is hard as f***, what a great song

Really appreciate the in-depth reply brother, much appreciated will listen & report back

I would assume so bc i heard him talking about TSU but im not too sure

Thanks for the info, what is “TSU?”
