Drake Says He's Dropping a New Single Tonight
Drake made an appearance at Majid Jordan's show in Toronto on Thursday night (Apr. 5), and he came bearing some good news: fans should expect a new single tonight (Apr. 6). “The reason I’m here tonight is because I’m back in the city finishing my album,” Drake told the audience. “I’ve got a new single dropping tomorrow night, too, just in case you got some free time.”
Whether or not they actually did have free time, the audience sounded more than willing to clear room in their schedules for another Drizzy track. This year has already started on a high note for the rapper, who dropped a tearjerking video for his single "God's Plan" in February, in which he donated his nearly $1 million budget to various people and organizations in need. Last month, Drake also donned a '70s getup for a throwback cameo in Migos' ultra-retro "Walk It Talk It" music video.
Watch Drake tease his new single below, and then, keep your eyes and ears peeled.
About “Nice For What”
“Nice For What” is the third single to be released from Drake’s 2018 album that has yet to be named.
Throughout the song, Drake speaks about the life women live in the digital age. They’re always looking to gain a following and live in the light, but that also comes with some resistance and hate. Despite what they go through, Drake shows that he understands and appreciates the hustle.
It was first teased by Lauryn Hill’s son, Joshua Marley on social media in early March of 2018 under the name “Showin' Off.”
1. "Started From the Bottom"
It's still insane to think that there has ever been a Drake song that hasn't been No. 1 in the country at some point. Yet, somehow—as pervasive as it became—"Started From the Bottom" was never a No. 1 song. What's even more surprising is Drake's first No. 1 track as lead artist on Billboard's Hot 100 wasn't until "One Dance" in 2016. Think about that. He was releasing absolute bangers like "Started From the Bottom" for years and still hadn't reached ultimate commercial acclaim. But, like everything Drake, the song took on a life of its own, becoming yet another anthem of success that could be played for drunk frat bros at clubs, at weddings, NBA championships, and still end up at the top of every 2013 year-end list. It's proof that Drake can make a hit for literally everyone—one that has lasting appeal beyond the fleeting nature of charts.
