Drake Was Bullied Into Creating His Best Collection of Raps in Years

The six new tracks from the Toronto rapper released on For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition reminded all of hip-hop that his pen is to be respected.

Drake lied to us all.

Just a month ago, on the same day For All the Dogs came out, he shared that he won’t be making music for a while, saying on an episode of his SiriusXM series Table For One, “I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be honest. I might, I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be real with you.”

Yeah, that wasn’t true because on Thursday, the Toronto rapper shared the trailer for Scary Hours 3 and said it would release hours later on Friday morning.

The said project, which is officially titled For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, serves as a stand-alone six-track EP, and I’m glad to inform you that the project is perfect. Drake shot 6/6 from the field on this one.

Littered with beats from some of the most respected underground producers and artists in hip-hop (The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, Ovrkast) Drake gave us a project that is filled with his most focused, and concise bars in years. No hooks. No trap beats. No melodies (for the most part). Just bars. I don’t care if I’m seen as a hater of “commercial hip-hop,” this EP is the best body of work Drake has released since Nothing Was the Same.

That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy other albums Drake has released over the years. There are some I appreciate a lot (Her Loss, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, Views). In fact, the subject matter of Scary Hours 3 is similar to that of previous records.
