Drake Drops New Track "My Side" Ahead Of 'If You're Reading This...' Vinyl Release

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

On the heels of his high-energy Coachella performance and the news of an upcoming North American tour, Drake has shared a brand new track with the world--a moody and cloud-draped ballad entitled "My Side." Built out of a backwards sample, "My Side" features plenty of Drake's textbook rap-singing delivery and tells the story of a strained relationship needled by anxiety and distance--basically life as Drizzy knows it. "Why are we wasting our relationship on a relationship?" the Toronto MC opines as keyboards and guitars slowly collapse all around him. Fans of his recent work will enjoy the cut's ire-tipped melancholy; this is Drake once again calling out a lover while he all the while knows he ought to be calling out himself.

The new track will be one of two "special edition" additions to the physical release of Drake's wildly successful mixtape If You're Reading This It's Too Late, which dropped back in February by complete surprise. That cd + vinyl LP drop is currently scheduled for April 21st. The second If You're Reading This... bonus track will reportedly be the Boi-1da & Jordan Evans-produced "How Bout Now," which hit the net in late 2014. Listen to Drake's new piece "My Side" below and be on the lookout for more.
