Drake’s new songs have hit streaming services just days after he debuted them in a trove of content from his archives.
The three-pack EP titled 100 GIGS surfaced on digital streaming platforms on Saturday, August 10. It consists of Drizzy’s new singles “It’s Up” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Housekeeping Knows” featuring Latto, and “Blue Green Red.” In his collaboration with Thugger and 21, Drake advocates for the jailed rapper’s freedom amid his ongoing YSL RICO trial. Meanwhile, 21 also fired some warning shots in the air, which some fans believed was aimed at Kendrick Lamar. However, the Atlanta MC’s manager confirmed that wasn’t the case.
In his upbeat joint effort with Latto, Drake raps over a sample of Miami artist DJ T-Time’s memorable hit “Ridin’ A Stick.” The Sugar Honey Iced Tea rapper appears toward the end with her verse. Shortly after the song dropped, some loyal Barbz called out Drizzy for collaborating with one of Nicki Minaj’s foes especially after the “Everybody” rapper allegedly shaded the Young Money alum and Latto on a livestream.
The songs initially appeared in Drake’s “100gigs” folder, which went live last week. The folder contains hours of behind-the-scenes footage from studio sessions for several albums including Her Loss, Honestly Nevermind and Scorpion. One of the clips sparked a memory from Young Guru, who shared the wild backstory behind Drake and JAY-Z’s song “Talk Up.”
