Drake ended his relative music drought this week with the unique drop of ‘100 GIGS.’

Aptly titled due to the size of the folder (100 gigabytes), the material comprised both audio and visual content that had never been released before; ranging from new songs to rare studio moments.

Initially housed at a web destination where the 100 GIGS could be downloaded, Drizzy has rolled out the fresh tracks on streaming services.

Serving as a three-pack EP, the songs include ‘It’s Up (featuring 21 Savage and Young Thug),’ ‘Blue Green Red,’ and the Latto-assisted ‘Housekeeping Knows.’ The latter of which we’ve had on repeat here at That Grape Juice.

All arrive on the heels of Drake’s headline-grabbing feud with Kendrick Lamar; a multi-song spar that spawned K.Dot’s chart-topper ‘Not Like Us.’

After seemingly leaving the drama in the rearview, the Canadian star is driving onto pastures new.
