azinemagazine: I’d retorted (to self likely) about the early Drake days. Back when Drake, 40, Ollie, & the rest of the OVO fam use to nurture their first website. (I designed one of my first websites, that same way later. I was lowkey stoked that I had the same one as them.) It was there, that the first Drake fans, heard some of the best of OVO, that a lot of you, almost never did. Most to all of the songs heard on the number 1, Platnuimized, “Care Package”, “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late", as well as a plethora of the tunes featured on ‘OVO Sound Radio’, were first featured and streamed on that website, for free. Crazy huh? Cool thing about it, is that trill Drake fans, know this. That’s why the globe’s most successfully streamed Rap artist, actually has a cult-like following. Well, ‘cultishly’ cut to late Thursday, when I heard from a follower @mikeyl_k) that Drake had dropped the pre summer Rap release, “Dark Lane Demo Tapes”. “Dark Lane” launches Drake into lobs on “Deep Pockets” in preferably laid back fashion, and it sorta mines itself that way throughout. Drizzy, decorates the release over 40 Shebib’s Executive productive power perfectly with the delights and disappointments of rap wealth. Such is soundly elicited over “Demos” entirely with producers like Oz on “Toosie Slide”, “Losses”, & *“Time Flies” as well as Cadastre on the Chris Brown featured “Not You Too”. Leaked but not lessened tracks like “Desires” featuring Future, “When To Say When”, & “Chicago Freestyle” featuring Giveon, swim sonically, seemingly effortlessly, while whimsically waving all listeners, poolin’ for some ‘riffed relief’ during this quarantine. Playboi Carti, Young Thug, and more round out the mixtape’s roster, and with names like that over OVO’s excellent echelon of sound design, the sonder of success, senses itself again for the guys over at OVO. Real talk, we’ve all taken a hit in some way with the Corona pandemic. The silver lining of it all, besides the connection it’s given us, has been the collection of music releases its crafted. Like great creatives, Drake has balanced loneliness with work ethic, and been solid with material, since the kick off of the U.S. chapters of COVID-19. All of the people I talk to, seem to be sojourning through the same kinda thing. They’re shut in and trying to make some light out of this dark episode. For Drake, “Dark Lane Demos” could be a mere reaction, that reminds us of how potent the OVO sound is. For the fans however, it’s a subtle (in waves) yet brilliant reminder of why we appreciate him.“ DLD” sounds like it was subconsciously strum up for Drizzy fans to ‘chillation’ to, while locked up away from the infamous Corona craze. In that way, ‘Demos’ is sum fr, lowkey . ∆³ -- source link
