Rick Ross and Lil Wayne Deliver Stellar Verses on Drake’s ‘CLB’ Track ‘You Only Live Twice’ Drake released Certified Lover Boy on streaming outlets on Friday after hyping it for a week. Damien Hirst presented the expected emoji cover art and many guest-announcing billboards that week.
Drake’s latest album comes three years after Scorpion, a double album. Examining fan and online community response is crucial for an album of this calibre.
Drake’s and Kanye West’s DONDA albums have dominated the past five days after months-long rollouts. Many fans have praised CLB since its release. Future rapping over a Right Said Fred sample and hidden references to Kanye West make Certified Lover Boy confusing. The exquisite collaboration between Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Drizzy on “You Only Live Twice.” is a fan favourite.
Both icons have worked with Drake (and each other) before, most notably on DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One,” and their latest collaboration is a fan favourite. Fans have also remarked that Drake appears to criticise Swizz Beatz on “You Only Live Twice” in response to Swizz’s apology last year.
