  29-06-2018 23:23 via rollingstone.com
  It’s unclear how, exactly, Drake pulled it off. On “Don’t Matter To Me,” a late song on the rapper’s latest album Scorpion, he recruits Michael Jackson for a duet.

• An Ode to 'Summer Games,' The Best Track on Drake's 'Scorpion'

  29-06-2018 21:39 via rollingstone.com
  Drake tucked away the finest song he's made this summer on "Side B" of Scorpion. In an album full of drama, emotion and answers to burning tabloid questions, "Summer Games" is the surprise highlight: an elegant sigh of resignation from an artist whose bravado-fueled bachelor lifestyle has helped make him an unbeatable musical force for the past decade. "Summer Games" enters loudly, opening with a thick synth riff that boomerangs off itself. The sound is distinctly mid-Aughts: It wouldn't sound o
