The rapper releases files of new music and new clips

Drake has released a massive package of unreleased content that includes three new songs and behind-the-scenes footage.

Material from the studio sessions, audio snippets and unreleased tracks have been uploaded to the website 100gigs, with the Canadian rapper posting a screenshot of the site on his Instagram Story.

The three new songs are titled: It’s Up, featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, Housekeeping Knows, featuring Latto, and Blue Green Red.

The release, which totals just over 100 gigabytes of data, comes after a few quiet months for Drake following his feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar.

In one of the files referencing the 2016 hit Hotline Bling, Drake is seen explaining that the song is named after a person he had a romantic encounter with, whose name he saved on his phone as “Hotline Bling.”

We also see various clips from the filming of the song’s music video.

It shows Drake dancing in front of a light background that changes color, then watching his dancing come back on screen.

Another file that references Honestly Nevermind shows footage from inside the production studio for the 2022 album, in which Drake and his team react to the music.

Fans were quick to take to social media to give their reaction to the footage and new music, with a mixed response.

Posting on X/Twitter, one fan wrote that It’s Up was “one of the best songs” he’s ever heard.

Another, slightly less impressed, said: “Why doesn’t anyone tell Drake that one of his main problems is oversaturation?”

The big outing comes months after his feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar reached new heights.

The conflict dates back years, but it escalated in May, when the two rappers traded insults in a series of new songs.

Drake, who has become the face of mainstream pop-rap, has accused Kendrick of selling out and mocked his size, while also making more serious allegations of domestic violence (the star has never faced such an accusation).

Kendrick responded by calling Drake’s music “predictable” and suggested he was addicted to gambling and drugs.

He also accused Drake of “colonizing” Southern rap culture for personal gain and made (unsubstantiated) claims about his conduct with young women, which Drake later denied.

The song, Not Like Us, broke records on Spotify, becoming the most streamed hip-hop song in a single day, topping the US charts and reaching number six in the UK.
