Drake, Laugh Now Cry Later | Track Review 🎵

Though it’s moderately interesting, “Laugh Now Cry Later,” the promo single from Certified Lover Boy, isn’t a slam dunk for Drake.

The late Juice WRLD, assisted by The Weeknd, shines once more on “Smile,” a single likely to grace the deluxe edition of Legends Never Die.

Cardi B, assisted by Megan Thee Stallion, get ‘down and dirty’ on the hella unapologetic, highly sexed-up single, “WAP.”

NLE Choppa shines on “Narrow Road,” an advance single featuring Lil Baby from his highly anticipated debut album, Top Shotta.

Grammy-nominated rapper DaBaby keeps it simple and devoid of depth on his banger, “No Dribble.” He taps Stunna 4 Vegas for the assist.

A$AP Ferg keeps it short and sweet on the potent banger “Move Ya Hips,” featuring Nicki Minaj and MadeinTYO.

Corey Taylor rocks hard but keeps its very basic on “CMFT Must Be Stopped,” featuring rappers Kid Bookie and Tech N9ne.

On the authentic, honest, and raw “Through the Wire,” rapper/singer Rod Wave reflects upon a series of life changing events.

Grammy-winner DJ Khaled taps Grammy-winner Drake for “POPSTAR,” a formulaic, lukewarm trap banger at best.

Kanye West, assisted by Travis Scott, drops a conscious, effective banger (sans profanity mind you) with “Wash Us in the Blood.”

Ever unapologetic, Juicy J delivers his own protest anthem with “Hella F**kin’ Trauma (Enough is Enough),” produced by and sampling himself.

Hit-making rapper Megan Thee Stallion returns with another short, sweet, and fearlessly unapologetic banger, “Girls in the Hood.”
