Surprise!
Next year's Future Music Festival headliner, Drake, has proven himself a savvy (or brazen) artist once again, pre-empting a potential leak of new material by beating the hackers to the punch and uploading three new tracks to share with his fans online.
Cryptically telling his Twitter followers to "keep an eye" on the website of his record label, October's Very Own, yesterday, Drake consequently linked to a post containing the three tracks, 6 God, Heat Of The Moment and How Bout Now. He explained the new material — which comes amid Drake's efforts in putting together the follow-up to his wildly acclaimed 2013 full-length Nothing Was The Same — thus:
That wasn't an EP. Just 3 songs that I knew some hackers had. But enjoy! Back to this album.

Well, if you can't totally beat them, just beat them in a different way, we guess. You can hear all three new tracks below.
