(“Members Only” also gives me similar vibes) Definitely one of my favorites of the rip. It’s not easy to make Drake take a backseat on his own song, but at some undisclosed studio in Toronto, between the hours of midnight and 4am on October 6th, 2023… Cole did that.ĭrea: I got excited when I heard the clever way Drake incorporated Chief Keef’s drill classic “I Don’t Like” in the background of “7969 Santa.” The Chicago girl in me smiled. Stefan: I mean… it has to be “First Person Shooter.” I just spent a few minutes looking for a sexier pick, but the J. But “What Would Pluto Do,” “Tried Our Best” and “Drew A Picasso” are up there as well. Cole had the best moment on the project as opposed to the entire song being the best track. Kemet: It’s hard to go around “First Person Shooter,” though it might be that J. After one listen of “For All The Dogs” all the way through, this is the song I have continued to play on loop. Party is one of Drake’s most reliable collaborators and this immediately moves up the rankings for me of their best songs together. When Drake teased this album with hints of the old Drake, this is the type of vibe I was expecting and it’s what we got. Kameron: On first listen, the best song for me personally is “Members Only” featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR. “First Person Shooter” is different in every meaning of the word. Cole linking back up with Drake on a track after over a decade. Jordan: Do I even have to say it? My GOAT J.

I’m adding to my weekend playlist immediately.Įric: “What Would Pluto Do” feels like a sequel to “BackOutsideBoyz” and I love it. The balance and duality exhibited on the longest track of the project is reflective of Drake’s chaos, and to put it simply, it’s fun. There are others I liked (like “IDGAF,” which audibly made me go “I think I get it now” regarding Yeat), but SZA, Drake and “SkeeYee” queen Sexyy Red is not a combination (Drake voice) I had on my bingo card.

Jessica: I’m going to give the award to the album’s opener, “Virginia Beach.” I can’t quite put my finger on why I like it over the 22 other tracks, but something about the blend of melodic and trap flows sounds right.Įcleen: I’m gonna go with “Rich Baby Daddy” for best song upon first couple of listens.
