Not to be dramatic, but Drake’s latest album Certified Lover Boy almost broke the internet. This new hot release was long-awaited and trended on social media for weeks. According to the New York Times, it has already had over 613,000 sales in the United States. This album by The Champagne Papi himself is almost as long as the Iliad. However, I’m glad it’s lengthy because Certifed Lover Boy is truly packed with certified bangers. The album features various soft ballads and all-around solid tracks with satisfying beats featuring top rap artists like Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage. The waves and rhythm of lyrics flow perfectly on each song like water, and honestly, I’ve had CLB on repeat since it came out. I know you’re Way 2 Sexy (hello TikTok) right now to read a lengthy review, so I’ve put together this short compilation of my favorite songs from the album. I would classify these as a safe bet on the aux, along with really anything by Drake.
- Fair Trade (with Travis Scott)
- Papi’s home
- Girls Want Girls (with Lil Baby)
- IMY2 (with Kid Cudi)
- Love All (with JAY-Z)
Enjoy some of these album essentials!
