It’s 5:00am in Atlanta right now & I literally woke up to check my twitter when I noticed Drake released a new song called “5am In Toronto”. Looks like the kid from T.DOT is keeping up his series of ‘AM’ themes just like he did with his initial “9am In Dallas” joint. This new one produced by fellow Toronto native Boi-1da is special because it further highlights Drake’s gravitation back to his earlier musical career roots where he’s spending more time on the lyrical aspect of his music & key track selections instead of being ‘sing-song ‘ heavy.  Drizzy Drake also provides a little controversy too as he also takes a few quick shots at MTV & their annual ‘Hottest MC’s list that always causes controversy, hate & ill feelings every year amongst artists & fans alike. If you’re someone like me who enjoyed most of Drake’s earliest work then you’ll appreciate this joint as much or maybe even more than his now gold ‘Started From The Bottom’ single because he’s putting the majority of his focus back on actually rhyming & key beat selection.  He’s not doing anything that many dope artists with less mainstream appeal haven’t already been doing the last few years, but when an artist like Drake who’s entrenched in that mainstream spotlight does it then casual rap fans tend to fall in line.  Makes sense that his next full-length project will be called “Nothing Was The Same”.
