Drizzy crooning over an up-tempo beat about an old fling, that can only mean one thing: a certified hit for the 6 God. In the midst of his riff with Meek, which got as cutthroat as one can imagine a situation getting when two former friends go at each others’ necks, Drake drops a tropical re-imagination of D.R.A.M.‘s “Cha Cha” that burned slowly but would soon engulf several demos: Hip Hop, Pop, R&B and Dance, in a telephone-inspired dance frenzy. With a solo number one record on the Billboard Hot 100 still eluding him, Drake dialed up arguably his catchiest tune to date and came closer than ever to answering the call for chart supremacy. All we need now is that Adele remix.
