This afternoon, a seventeen-year-old SoundCloud user from Marietta posted what he claims is an exclusive leak off Drake's Views From The Six. It's hard to imagine how a high schooler from suburban Georgia might have gotten his hands on something like that, and it sounds like it could have been a Nothing Was The Same-era or prior throwaway. But, even if it's not new new Drake, it's still new to us. So while we dig in on this this great Drake mystery, here it is: "How About Now," a low-key sung-spoken song about a girl didn't appreciated how good she had it until Drake was up and up:
I used to always try to burn you CDs of my new shit
You'd be like, “Who's this?” I'd be like, “Me, Girl”
You'd be like, “Oh word, true shit?”
Then ask if we could listen to Ludacris
As has been pointed out by Twitter, the song samples Jodeci's "My Heart Belongs To You." And that voicemail sampled for the intro, it sort of sounds like Nicki Minaj, no?
The fact that that's maybe Nicki on the phone at the beginning of the Drake song.
