Eagle-eyed fans peeped that Drake was following a random IG account titled Plottttwistttttt, which had some speculating on what the OVO boss had up his sleeve. The account was taken off of private and Drizzy posted the link and the subsequent leaked songs to his Instagram Story.
100GIGSFORYOURHEADTOP is the title for the site which includes folders on top of folders of content. The top dossier features the three new songs titled “It’s Up” alongside frequent collaborators 21 Savage and Young Thug, the island-tinged “Blue Green Red” and the Latto-assisted “Housekeeping Knows.”
Drake came out in defense of Thugger on their “It’s Up” collaboration as the YSL trial continues with no end in sight. “I can’t sleep at night with Thug at Cobb County Corrections/ I think he did enough reflectin’, I think my brother learned his lesson,” he raps.
For those expecting another response to Kendrick Lamar, these records don’t appear to be arrows sent in K. Dot’s direction. However, a photo with boxes inscribed with “No One Like Us – Euro 2024” is on the Plottttwistttttt IG.
There are plenty of hidden gems in the pile of photos and unreleased clips. One that’s picked up steam on social media finds Drake coming up with the hook to what eventually became Ye’s “Yikes” from his 2018 Ye album.
At the time, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg reported that Drake flew to Wyoming to work with West and was initially left off as a co-writer on “Yikes.”
There appeared to be a fracturing of the relationship between Ye and Drake’s camps following that early 2018 Wyoming link-up, which led to the Pusha T and Drizzy feud taking place a couple of months later in May.
Other clips include unreleased music, Drake possibly listening to “March 14” for the first time and tidbits such as his definition of “Hotline Bling,” which he debated having Future on.
Drake has made cameos on songs with Sexyy Red, Camila Cabello and Gordo in the months since the Kendrick Lamar feud, but hasn’t released any songs in an official capacity, and now has employed a purposeful leak strategy.
Listen to the three Drake songs below.
