Drake's mixtapes have become something of a phenomenon over the last few years from 'Room For Improvement' and 'Comeback Season' in 2007.
In the last 12 months he's also dropped 'So Far Gone', his shortest and most laid back piece, closely followed by this years 'Comeback Season II', which is 28 tracks of stone cold genius. With collaborations with Lil Wayne, Kanye, and Bun B it really lives up to the hype that caused one of the biggest bidding wars between the major rap labels in recent years.
So to the actual mixtape. The beats are exactly what you would expect from someone so closely linked with Lil Wayne and the rest at Cash Money Records. There's lots of keys and really fast drum loops and the rhymes are so tightly constructed it's impossible to find another new voice on the scene to compare him to. probably the best verse includes;
"Dropped a mixtape that shit sounds like an album,
Who'd have thought a countrywide tour would be the outcome,
Labels want my name signed by the X like Malcolm,
Everybody got a deal i did it without one."
So here's a free download for Comeback Season II
And here's the official video for 'Forever' featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye and Eminem who absolutely kills it.
