From harlanworldIceman on the way, so they say. It’s worth a look back while we wait. “Take Care” streams are apparently breaking records over the last week but let’s ride with NWTS. Signature 40 production with that hazy, grainy aesthetic and the track switch ups halfway through the song. I recently saw “Worst Behavior” ranked as Drake’s greatest song and I might just agree. Snubbed from the NYT 30 greatest songwriters despite the longest hit list of any modern artist. Love it or hate this one plays straight through with depth and character. Press play and let’s go let’s go.
