Meh...mediocre overall album
Album gets better as it goes on but on first listen it was kinda average. The growth from Drake has come in the form of dancehall riddims, U.K. grime and accessible pop music, he hasn't grown as a hip hop artist in the last 3-4 years. Lose You is probably my favorite record on the album but Drake has made this same kind of song since 9 AM in Dallas. For the new Drake fans who are fans of how diverse Drake is musically they'll love this album, if you want more rap, more life will leave you disappointed
Standouts: Ice Melts, Portland, Lose You, Free Smoke
3.75 outta 5
