If You're Reading This It's Too Late
This album may signal a departure from pop rap and a return to the Drake of So Far Gone - but the Toronto favourite's voice is lazier, the production rougher and the songs less upbeat. Drake's over meaningless sex, bad friends and the dangers that come with the rap game and few big names (and the consequential pop hits) appear on the album to collaborate. The debate continues to rage as to whether IYRTITL is an album, mix-tape, collection of offcuts, middle finger to Cash Money or all of the above. The price - full price, that is - tells us it's the first option but I'll take 40 Drake albums this year if I can get 'em. Whatever it is, this surprise release is more than enough to tide Drake fans over for now and he's sure to gain more fans than he loses.
