Drake has surprised fans with an extensive release of previously unseen content, including three new songs and a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage. The massive release, totaling just over 100 gigabytes, was made available on the website 100gigs. Drake shared a screenshot of the site on his Instagram Story, generating excitement among his followers.
The newly released tracks are:
- “It’s Up” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage
- “Housekeeping Knows” featuring Latto
- “Blue Green Red”
In addition to the new music, the archive includes various studio session materials, audio clips, and exclusive footage. Among the highlights are clips from the filming of the music video for Drake’s 2016 hit “Hotline Bling,” where he explains the song’s origin and shows footage of him dancing and reviewing the footage. Another folder features behind-the-scenes content from the making of his 2022 album “Honestly Nevermind,” and yet another includes footage from the creation of his collaboration album with 21 Savage, “HER LOSS.”
The release comes after a period of relative quiet for Drake, following a highly publicized feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. The rivalry, which has simmered for years, intensified earlier this year with both artists trading barbs in their music. Drake accused Lamar of selling out and made jabs about his height, while Lamar criticized Drake’s music as predictable and made controversial claims about his personal life.
Despite the intrigue surrounding this release, reactions from fans have been mixed. Some have praised the surprise drop, appreciating the fresh content and behind-the-scenes insights. Manisha Asher from London commented to BBC Newsbeat, “It’s quite exciting. I’ve always liked Drake, and it’s about time we got some of the old Drake back. It’s a nice teaser of what’s to come.”
However, not all feedback has been positive. On X (formerly Twitter), one fan criticized the release as “over saturation,” while another described it as “so bad” and expressed frustration with the constant stream of new material from Drake.
This release also follows recent controversies, including the vanishing of an AI-generated Tupac track from Drake’s Instagram and ongoing debates about the Drake-Lamar feud. Despite the mixed reactions, the massive release underscores Drake’s continued influence in the music industry.
