Listen, with a title like Her Loss, it was pretty evident that this album would see Drake and 21 being gleefully petty and toxic. He even used it on his controversial song “Money Over Fallouts” where he said Megan’s team was trying to “frame” him for the shooting.ĭrake doubles down on his trademark pettiness.

On “Circo Loco,” Drake repeatedly uses the Toronto slang term “Crodie,” which hasn’t been a regular part of his vernacular, but is a favorite of fellow Canadian Lanez. Drake and Tory have had their issues on and off wax before, but they’ve since squashed their beef: Tory was an opener for Drake’s European Assasination Vacation tour and the pair are frequently seen playing basketball together (including post-Megan shooting). Mainstream rappers initially seemed hesitant to work with Lanez following the incident with Megan, but since then he’s made music with Kodak Black, A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, and DaBaby. She followed up with a reference to the assault trial against accused assailant Tory Lanez, which is scheduled to take place between late November and early December. “Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dogpile on a Black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.” “Stop using my shooting for clout, bitch ass n-ggas! Since when is it cool to joke women getting shot!” she tweeted. Shortly after the album’s midnight release, Megan responded to the line as well as the trend of male rappers downplaying what happened to her. Her Loss is filled with darker-tinged beats, slow tempos, and bars with the occasional croon that define a typical Drake release. All in all, the album is a swerve back to the norm following Honestly, Nevermind, his surprisingly fun, house music-indebted summertime album. The album is light on features-the only credited guest is Travis Scott on the subtle-as-a-sledgehammer “Pussy & Millions”-while production is handled by a mix of longtime collaborators like Metro Boomin and Noah “40” Shebib, as well as southern rap standouts Go Grizzly and Tay Keith. His precise, controlled flows make him the straight man for this particular double act.

(“Jumbotron Shit Poppin,” especially offers a hearty dose of Playboi Carti, with Drake proclaiming “I’ma die lit” and “I’m a real vamp,” and even creeping his way up into a baby voice for certain ad-libs, over co-production from Carti collaborator F1lthy.) 21 is the anchor here. At times, his cadences undeniably borrow from Young Thug and Playboi Carti. After a one week delay and a non-rollout rollout marked by fake appearances on NPR Tiny Desk, Vogue, and the Howard Stern Show, Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss has arrived.ĭrake, inevitably, uses the proximity to Zone 6’s own Savage to lean into the sounds of contemporary Atlanta rap.
