Drake '5AM in Toronto' Released; Rapper Jabs Chris Brown and Rihanna? [LISTEN]
Rapper Drake uploaded his latest single 5AM in Toronto to his SoundCloud account early Thursday morning.
The 26-year-old Toronto native targeted rapper Chris Brown with lyrics that were likely fueled over a continuing grudge between the two after they were involved in a violent bar fight in June 2012, according to Hollywood Life.
Drake seemds to reference the fight as an attempt from Brown to get attention for himself stating: "A lot of n***as PR stuntin' like that's the movement/And I'm the only n***a still known for the music."
He also apparently hints about Brown's relationship with Rihanna singing, "I'm just being frank with you/I mean, where you think she at when she ain't with you?"
Drake continues with a jab at his critics and gives a shout out to Frank Sinatra in the lyrics: "The part I love most is they need me more than they hate me/So they never take shots, I got everybody on safety...Yeah, that's cause I'm headed to the bank, ni--a/ Sinatra lifestyle, I'm just being Frank with you."
This is the second track that Drake has released so far this year following Started from the Bottom. Both singles will like appear on his next upcoming album Nothing Was the Same that will be released in this summer, according to Idolater.
The latest single is reportedly a follow-up to Drake's previous track 9AM in Dallas that was produced by Toronto's Boi-1da who previously worked with Eminem, according to Exclaim.
Drake also collaborated with Boi-1da on the release of Take Care in 2010 which won the rapper the Grammy award for Best Rap Album in February.
The album win was Drake's first after he was previously nominated 10 times before.
The new song 5AM in Toronto is also available for download on Drake's blog.
