#iTunesSounds: Drake – “If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late” – October 22, 2015
I realize this Drake album may not be as popular as many of his previous album releases. Plus his recent beef with Meek Mill overshadowed this particular work. That said there are a few of the tracks I have on CONSTANT repeat in my Apple Music rotation.

Here’s my Fab Five with my favorite lines:
1) No Tellin’
“Please do not speak to me like I’m that Drake from four years ago . I’m at a higher place.”
…and a second line just for my guy Scott Johnson
“I gotta keep watchin’ for oppers cause anything’s possible, yeah There’s no code of ethics out here, anyone will take shots at you, yeah”
2) Star67
“Got my foot on the ‘Cedes Benz pedal /Doin’ 90 on the bridge like, ‘brotha you already know’”
3) Preach
I like this song mainly because he collaborates with “PARTYNEXTDOOR.” I became a fan of these guys because of the Instagram work of Retrospectivetrill_OG.
They do some funny stuff with the song “Recognize” Check this post out:
4) Know Yourself
I like how Drake is using the beat switch seamlessly these days.
“Running through the 6 with my woes. You know how that stuff goes.” – Reminds me of my days with the original Steve Nash aka Daniel Vo. @chiefofnbp
5) Jungle
Maybe I’ve gone soft. I’m married now, a daughter in the house. This song really resonates with me these days
“She forgave me for everything, this is a forever thing /Hate that I treated like it’s a whatever thing/ Trust me girl, this is everything to me”
