Drake shared the surprise new project with fans overnight
Chris Brown fans are expressing their disappointment on Twitter after it emerged that the rapper is virtually inaudible on Drake‘s new mixtape, despite being credited for a guest feature.
Drake released Dark Lane Demo Tapes overnight, with a number of guest artists credited including Brown, Future, Young Thug and Playboi Carti.
However, it became apparent that Brown has a relatively minor role on “Not You Too”, with just a few faint backing vocals.
Fans posted their reactions on social media – you can see some of the best below.
Drake released Dark Lane Demo Tapes at midnight, explaining that the project is comprised from leaked tracks, Soundcloud releases and “some new vibes”.
It includes previously released songs “Toosie Slide”, “Desires”, “When to Say When”, “Chicago Freestyle” and “War”.
The mixtape was announced on Instagram along with the news that Drake’s next studio album is scheduled for release this summer.
His latest album, Scorpion, was released in 2018, while his Care Package compilation came out in 2019.
Scorpion received mixed reviews from critics. A review for The Independent commented: “His last studio album, 2016’s Views, felt too long at 20 tracks, so Scorpion feels ridiculous with 25… and oddly erratic.
“We all know Drake as a virtuoso and something of a hip hop chameleon, but the way he darts between different sounds is exhausting and, ultimately, messy. On certain tracks he raps like he has something to prove, on others it’s like he has nothing.”
