Fresh off his feud with fellow rapper Meek Mill, Drake comes hard with two brand new tracks, "Hotline Bling" and "Right Hand," proving that he is always strapped with hot music.
Showcasing the Heartbreak Drake fans first fell in love, "Hotline Bling" is a singsongy love cut. The Toronto emcee laments to a lady friend, who calls him often in the midnight hours.
"You used to call me on my cell phone / Late night when you need my love / I know when that hotline bling / That can only mean one thing" he sings over an easy-going Caribbean-influenced beat, which is sampled from D.R.A.M.'s "Cha Cha."
"Right Hand" is a West Coast-inspired rap, in which the Drizzy Drake reminds his ride-or-die over a bouncy old-school hip-hop melody.
"You're my right hand, you're my go to / Told me everything about you," he spits. "That's a bold move / I know that you're out here / And there's things you gotta go through / Just know that these streets just don't know you like I do / And they never will."
The "10 Bands" rapper seems to be hard at work, seeing as right before dropping these gems he released the mellow and mysterious Meek Mill diss, "Charged Up."
"I stay silent 'cause we're at war and I'm very patient / 6 God is watching, I just hope you're prepared to face him / I'm charged up," he warns the Philly rapper before continuing, "Wow, I'm honored you think this is staged / I'm flattered, man, in fact, I'm amazed."
The track comes shortly after Meek went on an emotional Twitter rant after being compared to Drake. He claimed that the OVO boss uses a ghostwriter and did so on their collaboration, "R.I.C.O."
It is still a bit uncertain as to what prompted the "Monster" rapper to call out Drizzy, as well as Future, via Twitter.
Also, it seems the YMCMB artist is more focused on his music than feuds, staying silent on social media and releasing three new songs in a matter of days.
Meek Mill then responded via Twitter, saying that "Charged Up" is "baby lotion soft" and admitting, "I can tell he wrote that 1 tho..."
Diss or no diss, Drake's new tracks are fire. Hopefully, there is more to come on his highly anticipated album, "Views From The 6," which is expected to drop later this year.
