Meanwhile, ripped versions have long been floating around on YouTube and direct download sites.īe warned that listening to Care Package will seriously affect chances for a Hot Girl or City Boyz Summer. The tracks were largely available on the rapper’s SoundCloud profile. Day-ones may get nostalgic and shed a tear for how they originally discovered Drake: his October’s Very Own blog, fan site All Things Fresh and outlets like 2DopeBoyz, Nah Right and OnSmash.
It’s been nearly a decade since tracks like “Paris Morton Music” or “I Get Lonely” - which was intended for the ultimately unreleased R&B mixtape It’s Never Enough - were originally debuted. Drake’s career was catalyzed during the rap blog era. At the time, he thought Mercedes or luxury cars were “pretentious.” The artwork appears to be a nod to Drake’s past, his “Acura days.” Back when Aubrey Graham was transitioning from Degrassi star to rap star, he drove a 2004 Acura TSX. Care Package is a love letter to his fans: “Some of our most important moments together available in one place,” he shared on Instagram. His beloved Toronto Raptors took home the NBA championships and the rapper is on the eve of his ninth annual October’s Very Own (OVO) Fest in his hometown.

Despite it being made up of songs that were cast off, leaked, or used as bait, it serves as a kind of shadow career overview that gives a full picture of Drake as a talented, forward-thinking, frustrating, monomaniacal, and important artist. Through it all, the familiar Drake tropes (his self-belief, his rise from nowhere to the top, his broken heart and disdain for the people who did him wrong) are front and center, but unlike on recent albums where the sameness of the music and tone makes for difficult listening, the variety of styles, sounds, and beats means that this is one of the more satisfying albums Drake has issued. It gathers up pounding, angry tracks like "Dreams Money Can Buy" from 2011 that shows Drake's rap skills were always sharp, lots of atmospheric late-night R&B, a bit of freewheeling hip-hop, and some slickly smooth balladry as on "Heat of the Moment." The tracks range from dark and introspective to loose and humorous ("Draft Day") with some biting diss tracks ("4pm in Calabasas," which rips on Puffy, Meek Mill, and Joe Budden), crooning remakes of TLC's "Fan Mail" ("I Get Lonely") and the Destiny's Child song "Say My Name" ("Girls Love Beyoncé"), and some avant-garde R&B ("My Side"). While that might have been disappointing to people wondering why they weren't included at the time, it does mean that Care Package is a surprisingly strong collection. Ironically a lot of those tracks proved to be just as good as those actually used on the albums themselves. Many of the songs were used as teasers for upcoming projects, dangling out in front of the rabid public to get them excited. It's a 17-track collection of songs recorded but not used on albums or mixtapes, stretching back to the Take Care era in 2011.
