A-trak on Drake's 'IYRTITL. "It reminded me of Mobb Deep’s 'Hell on Earth."

[edzyy]

On What a Time to Be Alive:
WATTBA sounds like a Future project with Drake adopting it, but let’s not forget that If You’re Reading This sounded like nothing else. Drake and his team created a sound with that album. It reminded me of Mobb Deep’s Hell on Earth—banging drums, thin, spooky samples and gritty raps. A lot of songs with no real clear hooks. That’s not where the climate was at the moment, so he had a pivot with that.
