As part of the 100 Gigs content dump, Drake dropped more previously unreleased music and behind-the-scenes footage.
Perhaps the most striking part of the album is a snippet of a never-before-heard song from his 2013 album Nothing Was The Same, performed in the studio by Drizzy’s longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib .
“Do you remember us? Do you remember how that happened? / Because you just told me to put my hand on your throat / You’re so aggressive now, you used to like to take your time / But you changed, Girl, nothing will ever be the same again, girl/Can’t resist this feeling,” 6 God sings on Take Out.
Take a look below.

Another highlight was a video of Drake hanging out with Kanye West, the Chicago rap legend who made a surprise appearance at the 2013 OVO Music Festival.
The footage shows the two frenemies embracing passionately backstage as they bond.
There’s more Kanye content in the drop, including a video of Drake talking about his relationship with Yeezy after the aforementioned OVO Fest performance: “Yo, that’s crazy! That’s real rap shit. We don’t communicate enough, Sometimes when you go on stage, your emotions are revealed.
“I hadn’t spoken to Kanye before he came on stage, so that was our first interaction. He’d been sitting in the car. I felt like it was just something we’d been waiting for a minute to say, because it was like, I’m Ye period.
“Sometimes I feel like I can’t like it because I have to be against it. But that thing tonight was almost therapeutic.

Drake also posted a fascinating clip in which he put together the tracklist for “Nothing Was the Same,” revealing that he briefly considered including “Jodeci Freestyle” with J. Cole and “Yours” with Beyoncé + Mine” (eventually appeared on Bey’s self-titled album “Mine”).
There’s also a funny video of Drizzy making the biggest impression on Migos during rehearsals for Aubrey and the Three Migos tour.
The Toronto native has posted countless content since his heated rivalry with Kendrick Lamar died down earlier this summer.
Via a dedicated website called 100 Gigs For Your Headtop, Drake has been releasing songs, clips and previously unseen footage from throughout his career.
In addition to new songs from Young Thug, 21 Savage, Playboi Carti and Latto, these new songs also give fans an inside look into the world of Aubrey Graham.
These include Drake revealing that “Hotline Bling” was inspired by a woman he slept with and that he was considering adding “Future” to the song; Drizzy telling his mom, Sandra Graham, that Leigh Hana starred in “Too Good,” about his past relationship with Serena Williams; Drake performed an early version of “U With Me,” which had a different beat and lyrics, including A quip about The Weeknd (“OVO, no need to add any extra letters.”)
There’s also footage of the OVO Sound boss doing an impression of The Weeknd during concert rehearsals; him and Rihanna rehearsing “Take Care” circa 2014; and Drake playing unreleased songs, including ” Piece of Me,” “Barbados Mandem,” “Courtside Stepper,” “Young, Rich & Beautiful,” and “Mention Me.”
