Drake has once again surprised his fans with a treasure trove of unreleased music and behind-the-scenes footage, all part of his latest 100 Gigs content dump.

This latest release offers a rare glimpse into the Toronto superstar’s creative process, featuring songs and videos that have never been seen or heard.

Among the highlights is a snippet from a previously unheard track intended for Drake’s 2013 album Nothing Was the Same. This song, crafted in collaboration with his longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib, reflects on the changes in a relationship with the emotional depth that fans have expected from Drake. The verse, rich with introspective lyrics, adds a new layer of understanding to the Nothing Was the Same era.

Another gem in this release is a video from 2013, capturing a moment between Drake and Kanye West backstage at OVO Fest. The clip shows the two artists, who have had a complex relationship over the years, sharing a warm embrace and genuine camaraderie. Their interactions in the video hint at a time when their friendship was less strained, offering a poignant reminder of their shared history in the rap game.

The content dump also includes Drake reflecting on his relationship with Kanye, expressing admiration for his fellow artist.

Since cooling off his feud with Kendrick Lamar earlier this summer, Drake has been steadily releasing a wealth of content through a specially created website, 100 Gigs For Your Headtop. This ongoing series of drops has included new music featuring heavy hitters like Young Thug, 21 Savage, and Playboi Carti, as well as intimate moments from Drake’s career that have never been shared publicly before.
