REVIEWS by V-DOT: Drake "Poundcake" featuring Jay-Z

Drake "Pound Cake" (featuring Jay-Z)


Let the Drake memes say what they want about the rapper‘s history with women, but what no one can deny is his skills.  Drake came together with the man himself, Jay-Z, for his single “Pound Cake” on his new album Nothing Was The Same.

Rocking a smooth and mellow instrumental, the song features a rap flow from both artists, allowing both of their vocals to lead the tune while the production itself remains steady before a complete beat switch up at the four-minute mark. With beats courtesy of producer Boi-1da, Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett, the track references to Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" and Kanye's "No Church in the Wild".


The duo does not disappoint with their lyrical game, even bringing back the classic hop-hip with Wu Tang’ “C.R.E.A.M” on the hook. You can’t help but bop your head to the beat and let the music bring you back to the nostalgic time of good hip-hop.
