Drake – Dark Lane Demo Tapes Album | Free Zip Download
Dark Lane Demo Tapes is the sixth mixtape by Canadian rapper Drake. The mixtape is a compilation of songs that were released on SoundCloud or leaked on the internet, as well as new songs, and is considered a “warm-up” to Drake’s sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy. It was released on May 1, 2020, by OVO Sound and Republic Records.
Production was handled by Drake’s longtime collaborator 40, among others. Featured guest appearances include Future, Young Thug, Chris Brown, Playboi Carti, Giveon, Fivio Foreign, and Sosa Geek.
Dark Lane Demo Tapes sees Drake moving away from his “hitmaking formula” to more experimentation, with common producers on his previous records being absent on the mixtape. With its production taking influence from lo-fi, UK drill, trap, SoundCloud rap, R&B and soul, the mixtape is noted for not being as cohesive as Drake’s previous records.
Rooted in dark, ambient sounds through prominent use of unpolished synths, themes on the mixtape include failed relationships, complicated relationships with friends, and braggadocio surrounding Drake’s prominence in the music industry.
