Drake to Release Four or Five New Songs Following 'Nothing Was the Same'

Drake’s Nothing Was the Same lived up to its hype. Since its September 20 debut, it’s remained among the top 5 on the Billboard Top 20 list. “Hold On, We’re Going Home” is the soundtrack of autumn. His songs blare through windows of passing cars, retail stores, clubs and apartments. It’s everywhere, and it’s not going to go away anytime soon.

But it will go away eventually. No matter how amazing and timeless an album is, its luster eventually fades. People may constantly revert back to the album and revere it as a classic, but its presence will tip toe away. That’s when fans crave new music. They need a dose of something new, and in true superstar form, that’s exactly what Drake has to offer.

Drake recently told fans that he has about five unreleased tracks that could drop sometime in the near future. “I’m not a guy that does 40 songs for a project and picks 13 of them. If I’m going to go as far as to track over a beat, I usually have the utmost faith in it that it’ll end up somewhere.

“I don’t really dispose of too many songs. I have stuff that didn’t make this album definitely, but I don’t have 20 or 30 of them -- I have four or five records that just didn’t make it because I was trying to keep it concise and whatever I end up doing with those, I’ll do with them,” he said during an interview on CDC radio.

Whether Drake drops them on an EP, released them one by one on his label, or pass it along to another aritist, the tracks will eventually reach fans’ ears. So don’t worry about playing Nothing Was the Same into the ground. New material is on the way.
