That’s a reflection of the albums very crew-centric roster of productions and cameos including guest spots from Popcaan, PARTYNEXTDOOR, DVSN, Pimp C (in spiritual essence), Wizkid and Future and production credits from Kanye West, Jordan Ullman of Majid Jordan, Murda Beatz, nineteen85, Southside, Cardo, Sven Thomas, Frank Dukes, Allen Ritter, Daxz, Young Exclusive and Maneesh. Those are all just add-ons to the true sonic architects of this statement Noah “40” Shebib and Boi-1da (and mostly 40). Drake even prefaced the album stream with a love letter-ish instagram shout to 40 (read below). Even that, however, takes me back to those first studio sessions that put Drizzy on the map and reinforces my belief that not only are the album cuts here a departure from the Future/Fetty/D.R.A.M.-appropriating sound that’s characterized the leaks so far, in favor of a more individual sound…but that the album’s heart lies in giving his fans a window into that moment when the world opened up before the not-quite-made-man that day back in 2009.īefore we do this I just wanna say thanks man. Thank you for the years you spent working with some of Toronto’s true legends honing your craft. Thanks you for dropping everything to work with me after we met and realized we had something special. Thank you for pushing yourself despite the fact you should be resting to achieve an end goal that we are both obsessed with.
