Drake If You're Reading This It's Too Late

4 stars out of 5 -- "Trusted collaborators like Boi-1da and Noah '40' Shebib weave together murky piano loops and wispy R&B samples that lurk in the background, leaving plenty of room for Drake to go off. Lyrically, he's in pure stunt mode, using his star power to turn obscure slang into the height of style."
"The songs morph and change shape almost as often as Drake's mercurial flow..."
"[H]e sounds comfortable and in the pocket, from his casual boasting on '10 Bands' and 'Legend' to his ode to his mother on 'You & The 6.'"
"[I]t's striking that Drizzy is such a blockbuster draw even when he's in form as edgy and uncommercial as this."
Clash (Magazine) - "Beat-wise, IF YOU'RE RADING THIS IT'S TOO LATE is fire. It samples Ginuwine -- twice -- along with Cutty Ranks, The Roots, Popcaan, and, weirdly, glossy house mainman Henry Krinkle."
