ICYMI, yesterday Drake, really quietly let loose “100 Gigs For Your Headtop,” a wild robust archive dump of three unreleased songs, all types of artwork, still photos and the arguably the best part – what fans believe is never-before-seen video content.
Here’s how it went down and what fans are saying after the holy grail of Drake content:
An IG profile, believed to be operated by Drake or his team, posted a link to a website titled “100 Gigs For Your Headtop,” as we said contains 100 gigabytes of content related to the multi-hyphenated Toronto artist.
Get this, the eclectic collection includes everything from studio sessions to behind-the-scenes footage of iconic music videos like “Hotline Bling” and “What’s Next.” The videos also showcase various Toronto landmarks, such as Yonge-Dundas Square, Ripley’s Aquarium, and scenes filmed on a TTC subway car.
The Gram account, which looks like it was created in June, just “popped out,” lol, during Drake’s ongoing rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, fueling speculation among fans.
But gotta have music right? The “100 Gigs For Your Headtop” website also features three new tracks: “Housekeeping Knows” featuring Latto, “Blue Green Red,” and “It’s Up,” a collaboration with 21 Savage and Young Thug.
The treasure trove of content included intimate clips from Drake’s career, including a video of Lil Wayne bringing him out during a Toronto concert in the early days of his career, and footage of Drake recording the opening track of his sophomore album *Take Care*, “Over My Dead Body,” in a hotel room.
Whew chile … Some of the most talked-about moments include a throwback video of Drake and Rihanna rehearsing their duet “Take Care,” during a period when rumors swirled about their relationship, and another clip where Drake confides in his mother, Sandy Graham, that his song “Too Good” is about tennis star Serena Williams.
“When I make songs about women, I also make songs for them… If I’m gonna talk about them, I’ll at least do them the justice of making a song that they’d like,” Drake explained to his mother. “I know Serena very well and I know that she’ll hear it loud and clear, but she’ll also not hate me for it because it’s light-hearted.”
As expected the surprise drop has left fans in awe, with many celebrating the content for showcasing Drake’s artistry.
“Drake dropping 100 gigs from his archive is insanely next level,” one user on X (twitter) commented. “Might be one of the smartest moves I’ve seen an artist do in a while.”
Another user added, “100 gigs is good content. Yes, Drake got smoked in that rap battle, but I’m glad people are remembering he’s still a great artist.”
“Drake just dropped 100 Gigs of history,” another user proclaimed. We concur.
“After giving ‘100 Gigs For Your Headtop’ enough time to digest, it is clear that Drake delivered once again,” a fan wrote. “The OVO head honcho uniquely released 3 quality tracks that will surely keep the summer blazing.”
Let’s be real. Feel how you want to feel but no one is doing this, has done this and will look weird trying to duplicate what Drake just did. Period.
