Drake sampling notorious UK one-hit wonder and current day anti-mask/anti-vaxx idiots, Right Said Fred‘s “I’m Too Sexy”? Is this evidence of the 6ixgod still being a cutting-edge ‘tastemaker’? What y’all think of Certified Lover Boy? CLB > DONDA or nah? Regardless of what you may think two days in, Drake’s commercial/consumer dominance remains unchallenged with this album. But for how much longer, we wonder?
Hit the jump for the “Way 2 Sexy” video featuring Future & Young Thug which is just pure jokes btw! Shout to the ‘fun guy’ ‘board man’ Kawhi Leonard for the hilarious cameo!
This track is FIYA! RIYL FKA Twigs with shades of James Blake near the end too but was putting me in the mind of fellow Toronto artists, Just John and Dom Dias. Wanna know more? Here’s the official press blurb:

Nice club banger track by O.G. T.dot rapper, Rochester. Too bad COVID got all the clubs shut down.
Nice fresh take on boom bap hip-hop from two–time Different Kitchen compilation alum and top Toronto DJ/artist/producer, DJ Nana. Here’s the science:
What’s a MICRO DOUBLE?
A collection of material that is longer than an EP and shorter than an album.

Gibson, eMDee, ELMNT and Rich Kidd (appears as the only other contributing producer); Mixed and mastered by newcomer Marcus Gapic, 11 of the MICRO DOUBLE’s 12 songs are produced by DJ Nana.
