Rapper Drake has released a new collaborative album, “Some Sexy Songs 4 U,” with Toronto singer-songwriter PartyNextDoor. The album marks a vintage sound for Drake, blending moody heartbreak and self-loathing. However, some tracks suggest he may be looking to move away from his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Lamar won five Grammy awards this month, including the Super Bowl halftime show performance of “Not Like Us.” In contrast, Drake’s new album appears to exist in a parallel space to his public beef with Lamar.
The album includes some songs that imply Drake is exploring musical pathways forward or away from his recent controversies.
