[UPDATE: a new short verse on Pop Style has been featured on OVO Sound Radio

Listen here!]

DRAKE HAS COME THROUGH WITH A NEW OFFICIAL SINGLE – this time featuring “The Throne”, which is made up of none-other than Jay-Z and Kanye West, on the track Pop Style.

The track starts off with a very dark melody – completely opposite of the snippets that have been leaking, from Controlla to These Days. Some speculated that because of the upbeat/romantic vibe, that would be the direction for the next album but Drake essentially comes out with this and says screw all that as he comes through with a deep-voice flow [showing how diversified he is], with Kanye bringing a cool yet amusing verse to the table – addressing himself as Pablo and referencing the “Imma let you finish” incident. This song is not a great track, but it’s certainly a good track.

Jay unfortunately doesn’t have a bigger part in this and that’s slightly disappointing as I was looking forward to a full verse from all three. I hope he is featured on another track on Views From the 6 just to make up for the lack of feature on this one. Although slightly reminiscent of the darker melodies on If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, this track takes off on another creative direction, and one that I’m sure many fans will be looking forward to after hearing this track.
