Drake Tries To “Do It All” In New Mixtape Track

The mixtape No More Thank You’s dropped today, and – no surprise – much of the chatter has focused on the new Drake joint, the doleful “Do It All.” No official word on when the track was recorded, although it appears to be a leftover from his Thank Me Later sessions. Catch it below.

The beat is interesting on this Rob Holladay-produced tune, and it has a futuristic synth-y flair as the track revvs up, concluding with a somber piano. As far as Drizzy’s vocals go, he switches from impressively rapping his flow to not-so-impressively showcasing his singing. Although Drake has never been known for having a velvety smooth singing voice, in this track, it sounds like he’s a pack-a-day smoker. It’s distracting how much rasp he’s got. Somebody give this guy a glass of water or something. [Karen Civil]
