Although his next album, Nothing Was The Same, is not set to drop until later this year, Drake has treated us to a free (download), non-album track today: "5 AM In Toronto." The title is reminiscent of his previous track, "5 AM In Dallas," which was also released as a free song just before his debut album, Thank Me Later. It ended up being a bonus track on the album, so perhaps the same will happen with his latest release. This time, 26-year-old Drake takes us back to his home city of Toronto and hits pretty hard in comparison to his other tunes. Boasted as a freestyle and produced by Boi-1da, Drake holds nothing back in this rough rap. People are trying to guess who he is calling out, but it is more fun to just sit back, listen, and wait for the controversy to start. Read More »
