Can I? was released, but never made an album. The second collaboration came on the 2015 track Can I? which was supposed to be on Drake’s most recent album Views. Shockingly, Drake and Beyoncé have only collaborated for one official song - 2013’s Mine from Beyoncé’s self-titled fifth studio album. Come for the singing, stay for the switched-up flow as Drake raps midway through the track. That hook of that song is the brainchild of Drake, who serenades with the same words as a bridge on Trust Issues. 1 hit I’m On One featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne might have said it best on Birdman’s 2009 Money to Blow - And we gon be all right if we get Drake on every hook, because Drake is the king of hooks and one of his most famous ones is All I care about is money/ And the city that I’m from / I’mma sip until I feel it / I’mma smoke it till it’s done … you know the rest, from DJ Khaled’s 2011 No. Jodeci was Drake’s favorite to listen to. The father and son would often listen to music together while road-tripping from Toronto to Memphis. Also on the track is the voice of Drake’s father, Dennis Graham. Cole - the Fayettenam MC whom Drake often refers to as his light-skinned brother from another mother - returned the favor. Disclaimer: Don’t “Drake and Drive” to this. Breaking up with someone and moving on is a task Drake is quite familiar with - so he coined a name for the process - “The Motion” - and got British electronic artist Sampha on the outro to really set the track off. It’s not me it’s you / You’re reckless and you know, they don’t love you like I do / Say you’re moving on, well, I guess that’s just the motion. It may even give you more life - until More Life.
Would’ve Came Back For You will take you on an odyssey of every facet of Drake: from the lover to the fighter, from the heartbreaker to the heartbroken, from the crooner to the MC, from Jimmy from Degrassi to the 6 God. They’re not ranked from best to worst, but rather sequenced in an order that this anthology, which features eight years worth of music, flows. On that note, The Undefeated, in association with Aux Cord Chronicles, presents Would’ve Came Back For You - an “album” composed of the Toronto artist’s stray songs (many of which were produced by Boi-1da or Noah “40” Shebib). It’s titled More Life, and it’s a playlist (as opposed to a now-suddenly dated “mixtape”) of original music. Great minds think alike: On the eve of his big birthday, Drake appeared on OVO Sound Radio on Sunday night, dropping three new songs (and a remix) while announcing a new project set to drop in December. 1 status, as all four of his albums and two of his mixtapes already have.
Together, they could make up an album on their own - one that would certainly reach No. A few have even been nominated for Grammys.
But while not every song appears on an official album or mixtape, some of these orphan tracks have been top five hits. Whether that’s on SoundCloud, via his website or if one of the many hip-hop blogs is first to the punch to spread the love.
Four studio albums, five official mixtapes, 160 songs.
