Drake & Central Cee, Which One [📷: OVO / Republic]Canadian rapper Drake collaborates with British rapper Central Cee on the summery dancehall-infused rap banger, “Which One.”

“All the girls that’s here for the truth, come put your hands on the DJ booth / Then wine your waist to the big man sound.” Hell yeah! Canadian rap superstar Drake has had his fair share of Ls between 2024 and 2025 (understatement). Still, he ensures his dancehall-infused single, “Which One”, is a W. Collaborating with UK standout Central Cee (Oakley Neil Caesar-Su), he drops an entertaining and infectious summery banger.  O Lil Angel, b4u, and OZ produced “Which One” which, initially, thrives on a sick, minimal, syncopated dance beat. It also interpolates lyrics from “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls and “Work” by Rihanna featuring himself.

 

“Fuck anyone that’s bringing you down,” Drake raps in the first verse, and continues, “Sweetheart, you’re doing your thing right now, good God.” The refrain (excerpted above) follows, preceding the chorus, also performed by Drake. Here, he asks, “You want Cench or your ex, which one? / You want friends or success, which one?”  Questions, questions.  Fittingly, Central Cee arrives in the second verse, embracing the patois too.  That British accent is everything! Notably, he spits, “Junk in the trunk, can see it from front / Girl your body is tea, it’s pain, I’m sprung /… Put a coin in the slot, ya just hit jackpot.” Oh, snap, Cench! An unexpected but highly effective beat/production switch precedes Drake’s refrain, and continues in his final verse, where he eloquently informs her, “I wanna fuck out your face and skrrt / You need to throw that ting inna reverse.” Ultimately, Drake and Cench drop a bop with “Which One”.
