Charged Up dropping on OVO sound radio
OVO Sound Radio really need to come back
That was flames
Idk this might sound crazy but The Real Her gave me crazy chills first time and that throwback Started From the Bottom rollout with the billboard picture and blog post
War
War, the cadences & internal rhyme schemes he rapped with paired with the the way he was addressing the mob wars in Toronto with delicate detail and poignancy coded in language & references only locals and true fans would understand was so overwhelming it gave me chills.
Also hearing it set to the backdrop of a new music video was exhilarating as well, it's rare we get a Drake premiere with a video so experiencing both at the same time was amazing.
I think that's one of his biggest challenges right now, the more personal and detailed he wants to get in his music he runs the risk of alienating his fanbase outside Toronto.

Whenever a new album drops for me. Always something special about hearing his voice for the first time on a project.
In terms of singles, I’m not sure. Maybe omertà. We’ve been getting heaps of snippets lately and as addictive as they are to listen to they kinda rob you of that pure first listen experience
Nice track but did not give me the chills or give me “that feeling”
Drake puts out great, high-quality music, but post-2015, that feeling that he used to give me from his songs has come few and far between.
In my opinion when people say this it’s only because Drake’s made it his normal to put out such good music. When he was three, four years in the game and surging to the top it was exciting and fresh. Now some listeners have almost taken his greatness for granted (not saying you specifically, just something I think as a whole).
I remember a really good quote where Drake made a basketball a***ogy, something along the lines of: “At the start I could go out and drop 50 and everyone would cheer. Now I need to go and drop 100 to make them impressed.” He said it much more cleverly lol but you get my drift.
That’s true to me, I think his quality as is good if not better than it’s ever been but because he’s been so consistent for so long it doesn’t excite people to the same level and then they claim he’s fallen off.
If Scorpion or Views dropped in place of Take Care or NWTS for example I’ve got no doubt they would be so much more loved and appreciated.
