Drake’s “Care Package"
Drake dropped "Scorpion" last summer, but he just couldn't leave THIS summer alone. Pretty much out of nowhere, Drizzy unleashed a new compilation of 17 tracks that never got an official release, and some of them contain some pretty high-profile features: J. Cole, Rick Ross, and more.
And he aptly named it “Care Package.” Drake, you’re funny.
The album gathers up random tracks from throughout his career, including songs that were never given official release, (such as “Can I,” which was previously leaked), and “Dreams Money Can Buy” (which dropped between "Thank Me Later" and "Take Care”).
The bulk of the tunes had only lived on Drake’s SoundCloud or YouTube accounts. Then, with a surprise announcement only one day before its release, Drake went to Instagram and said, “"Available on all platforms. Some of our most important moments together available in one place. Care Package.”
It’s like a career-spanning greatest hits that never were, and it’s our ALBUM OF THE WEEK*. Listen on-demand, as much as you want!
