AceShowbiz - Here are new Drake songs to help make the wait for his next album easier. While he's currently putting the finishing touches on "Views From the 6", a couple of tracks featuring the Canadian rapper surfaced online on Tuesday morning, March 29.
One of the leaked track is "Controlla", a collaboration with Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan. On the midtempo Carribean jam, which presumably will appear on the "Nothing Was the Same" follow-up, Drizzy sings about a lady that he's willing to do anything for.
"How many more days could I wait?/ I made plans with you/ And I won't let em fall through," he croons and adds in the hook, "I think I'd lie for you/ I think I'd die for you/ Jodeci 'Cry For You'/ Do things when you want me to/ Like controlla, controlla."
The other track is a slow-tempo tune titled "Things I Forgot to Do" and belongs to Barf Troop's Babeo Baggins. It's actually a cover of Nico's 1967 single "These Days". Drake and Baggins recorded the song for the latter's EP, "Love Songs for Tough Guys".
Following the track's unexpected arrival, Baggins posted its finished version online and explained to Dazed how she got Drake on the song. "Drake is a friend of mine. 'These Days' is my favorite song in the world and I showed him the song because he had never heard it. He connected with it, which explains us doing the cover," she said.
