Drake Shares 3 New Songs Featuring Young Thug, 21 Savage, And Latto
Drake has quadrupled down on his promise of “summer vibes.” The 37-year-old rapper shared three new songs featuring Young Thug, 21 Savage, and Latto.
This wasn’t a traditional release for the Toronto superstar; he shared the songs on his Instagram story on Tuesday (Aug. 6) via an Instagram account named @plotttttwistttttt. The page’s bio reads “100 GIGS FOR YOUR HEADTOP” and is followed by a link to a website titled 100gigs.org.
Upon clicking the URL, a landing page with a bunch of folders appears. The first, titled “NEW” includes three records: “It’s Up” featuring Thugger and Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows” featuring the “Big Mama” artist. Listen to the records below.

These records are the first time fans have heard Drake as a lead artist on songs since he feuded with Kendrick Lamar. Instead of focusing his efforts on his multiple foes, he creates trap synergy with Young Thug and 21 Savage on “It’s Up,” delivers another afrohouse bop in “Blue Green Red,” and almost recreates “Rich Baby Daddy” alongside Latto on “Housekeeping Knows.” She even shared a snippet of the track plus a visual on her X account.
Drake shared a bunch of unreleased gems in the rest of the folders, though they aren’t full songs. Instead, it is footage from his Apollo show in January 2023, working on his 2016 album Views, rehearsing “Sooner Than Later” with a live band, tours, and much more. Quite literally, it is 100 gigabytes worth of miscellaneous content.
It is unclear why the 6 God chose to unload all of this on a Tuesday afternoon, but his fans aren’t complaining. They have been well fed over the last few months, following his two features on Gordo’s album DIAMANTE, two features on Camila Cabello’s album C, XOXO, and his verse on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything.” There is also his track “Super Soak” with Lil Yachty, which is another unofficial release due to sample clearance issues.
