Album Review: Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late

Well that was unexpected! Drake dropped this collection of verses over too-good-for-a-mixtape beats with no warning, and no fanfare.

He's taking shots at everyone here, even his label. Cash Money boss and Drake mentor Birdman has been slow getting Drake his money. With this – both behind the mic and with his none too subtle title – Aubrey's signalling the beginning of the end of his relationship with Stunna. And it's a magnificent way to go out. Drake's a different man from the anxious, eager lover we met years ago. From opener Legend to bonus closer 6PM In New York our host is all business. "28 at midnight. Wonder what's next for me?", Drake muses. So do we.
