From the moment “Falling Back”, the first full song on Drake’s new album “Honestly, Nevermind”, starts playing Black Coffee’s influence is clear.
It's a vibe straight out of the veteran house DJ’s current sonic direction.
Over the rest of the 13 song album, Drake croons about unrequited love (as he always does) over a soundscape that sounds like a remix of sorts of Black Coffee’s recent Grammy Award winning album, “Subconsciously”.
In fact, the “Overdrive” beat sounds almost identical to “Flava” featuring Una Rams and Tellaman off of “Subconsciously”.
Last year, in a review of Pitchfork, writer Tarisai Ngangura spoke this into existence when she wrote that “Flava” could "easily fit into the perpetually lovelorn rapper’s playlist".
Black Coffee and Drake had previously collaborated in 2017 on the “More Life” single “Get It Together”, which was essentially a remake of the DJs classic single, “Superman”.
"Drake just dropped a full Dance album and Black Coffee production very heavy on that. What a time," Tweeted Cassper this morning.
