Nothing against Drake’s DJ game, but we weren’t expecting such a heated OVO Sound mix tonight, especially in the wake of Views, currently spending its fourth consecutive week atop the albums chart. But tonight, he put more work in the rotation. A lot of it. First, a brand new collab with the fully freed Gucci Mane La Flare, fittingly titled “Back on Road,” produced by Boi-1da and Murda Beatz. Next came a remix of his first and only No. 1 by another Canadian who’s had a few chart-toppers himself. Listen to Justin Bieber’s “One Dance” remix here.Finally, to end the set, Drake dropped a brand new solo drop, which, these days, is more exclusive than anything. ” “4pm in Calabasas,” though recorded in the late afternoon, might be the hardest of the bunch.
The track is inspired by a life lesson given to him father: “Mike never tried to rap like Pac, Pac never tried to sing like Mike.” Obviously, Drake didn’t listen — “I always said my mother gave the greatest advice.”
