/HIPHOP/ Drake ft Sampha - The Motion

Drake went ahead and dropped a new track on us. I really like the production on the this; the layered and filtered synths set a mood without drawing too much attention from the vocals. Drum pattern changes two thirds of the way in. Chopped vocal samples at the end. Definitely worth listening all the way through.

 Be sure to support Drake's new album when it drops in September. Enjoy!
