Review- If Youre Reading This Its Too Late by Drake

    Canadian rapper Drake has been met with a lot of success in the game, however does he have enough credibility to release a mixtapewithout any sort of hype or marketing? Apparently so, with the release of If Youre Reading This Its Too Late. This mixtpae makes for Drake's fourth mixtape, and is a strong followup to 2009's So Far So Gone. This could be considered an album and a mixtape interchangeably.
 To start, this mixtape is very well produced, the beats are easy to move to and have great feeling to them. The samples have elements of R&B along with elements of classic hip hop and the synth in the background is a nice touch for sure. Drake himself on this album comes out strong, his tone changing from track to track from a higher pitch to a lower, His verses are strong as are the hooks to the tracks. Lyrically this however is nothing special when it comes to Drake, but this formula works for him. Overall, I give this mixtape a solid 7/10, and I am certainly anticipating his next album.
