In the middle of the promotion of his debut album, he started to work secretly in some new music, first expect to feature on his second solo album, but the music he was making was heavily inspired in Hip Hop and underground electronic music, hardly different from his progressive house first album. So he was obeyed to leave those new music aside and focus on his mainstream career. He kept the songs secretly, till he finally decided to reveal to his manager and record label, he was not making new mISTER_b’s music anytime soon. The quality of that underground music he was working on was very well received by the label’s executives, he then received free card to work in a full album. Drake had a conversation with his manager and together they decided to find a singer who would form with Drake a duo in respect to the fans that he had already conquered with his progressive house beats, they decided to make a side project other than just name it as mISTER_b. During a studio section, Drake met Nate Alexander and invited him to record some vocals for his ‘secret project’, the experience of recording with Nate was really well productive, Drake decided to make a former invitation and together they would form ‘Groove In Downtown’. But it took over an year to work and record the tracks, Drake was in a tight schedule due to his work as a producer and obviously he spent the whole year of 2014 touring with his main DJ career. Between announcing the project in a radio interview and finally releasing it, it took over eight month till the fans could hear the track ‘Can I Exist?’. The reception was overwhelming. The single peaked at the top 3 in the world charts on both digital and airplay formats, the music video surpassed the 100 milion views in one month, the visual aspect of the project was inspired by the work of Ernest Zacharevic who was also invited to make the artwork and the video of the first single. Ernest travel the world painting the walls of the biggest metropolis, he often paints children playing around in between the cracks of the walls adding a real object to the painting, so if you look straight to it at some distance the painting looks real. Drake revealed that the name of the project and whole concept of the songs is the streets of a big metropolis like New York or São Paulo. He said that both him and Nate wanted to talk about the life in big cities and kinds of people that live on it. Some other musicians took part in the production, writing and by lending their vocals to some tracks of the album. The first people to work with Drake and Nate was obviously ‘The ElectroDeath Team production’ which includes longtime hit maker Lilly Stuart, the young producer called ‘The Vibrator’ and former ElectroDeath producers trio ‘ElectroLightz’. Rappers such as Kidd Amaze and Matt Young, worked with them and even lend their voices to the track that they worked on it. Kidd Amaze’s collaboration was released as the second single of the album and attracted critical acclaim. Liyah, also took part on the songwriting and lend her voice for two tracks in the album. This is also the first time we listen o Lilly Stuart’s voice since she retired from singing, she provides additional vocals for a few tracks.

He repeats it twice as other elements are added progressively. After four repetitions the melodies break in, synth pop beats, electronic drum sequence mixed into a variety of ambient and atmospheric sounds. Nate’s voice is all affected with echoes and distortion, making him sound industrial. The mix of electronic murkiness & dread with the added R&B flavor plus percussive beat propels each listener into a world of electronic apathy. Throughout the track the word ‘Choice’ is used continuously specially in the end of the track, right at the climax. The apathetic melody fuses itself with the same apathetic lyrics. ‘Choice’ is about choosing the right way to reach fame, but the ‘right’ way may not be the pleasant or easiest one, the real point in choosing a way to conquer success is self-satisfaction. During the second verse the track talks about how long it will take to ‘walk’ to finally reach the success. Between complaint lines a story is being told and progressively this character gets near its goal. By the last verse of the track, this character is already in the ‘fame row’ but still walking in the lonely road. Opening the album with such atmospheric track like this is quite the opposite of what we were expecting of this duo, but this project was always surrounded of mysteries and this track just proves it. Does this track is talking about Drake fast ascension to fame? But Drake was not the only writer of the track, Nate Alexander and Lilly Stuart took credits for it as well. Nate knows well the paths to fame, he might not be a celebrity yet, but he is engaged to a lot of causes and to have a song talking about ‘choices’ and what consequences they bring to our lives is quite right for a dude like him, in the other hand there’s the hit maker Lilly Stuart, she knows the price of fame, but obviously, she is a writer which means she only helps musicians with a few words. For the pop fans who like their music grim and bleak this will no doubt be on their playlists. Lyrics Choice Choice Choice Choice It’s a road of two sides Ahead of me Two paths I can’t choose What’s the right? The one to lead me to plenitude I walk alone in this long road Certain, I was born with a purpose I chose this way, ‘cause it’s my last chance To make the best for me and I have faith Choice Choice The road seems endless and I’m powerless I feel tired of this loneliness Strangers for my eyes Are they just passersby? I’ll keep on wandering into immensity The road seems to be an eternity And I can’t come back, this is my task I walk alone in the perdition road Choice Choice I’m reaching for heaven Heading to paradise In my own disguise The same road of before The one I threw my world No tears in my eyes I learnt to survive, I learnt not to die I learnt to hide the real me inside For fear of losing my soul, I had a choice And it comes to be this bumpy road, yeah Choice Choice Choice Choice It’s a road of two sides In the future Two paths I will choose What’s the right? The one to lead me to plenitude I walk alone now in the fame row Certain, I was born to this I chose this way, and now I’m safe To give all of me ‘cause I lost faith Choice Sounds Like Edited by user 22 January 2015 03:18:45(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

It is accompanied by a New Wave-inspired beat and incorporates dance synthesizers and a bass line, it is reminiscent of music from the 1980s. Liyah’s vocals were extremely well produced and are no doubt the highlight of this track adding so much personality and irony to the acid lines. The verses of the track are performed in two forms, most of the part Lyiah speaks the lines as if she was thinking loud but as the pre-choruses and choruses of the track arrive, she let her R&B vocals shine over the new wave beats of the track. This track is the most mainstream of the entire album, don’t mind if it will be choose to become a single. The synth beats and bass line altogether with the drums are fun, groove, and witty, there’s additional backing vocals performed by Nate Alexander but Liyah is the main vocalist of the track. This is also the first time we hear a track that Liyah sung produced by Drake, after the reports of them working together last year. The lyrics might take some media coverage due to its controversy. It’s another character driven track. The subject of music is on his/her day off work at home, suspecting smoking weed, so this character is basically singing about typically lazy day with marijuana until someone calls the police and the chorus of the track comes to be the conversation this character is having with the officers in an attempt to not get arrested. Despite the track might sound fun and silly, it has a deeper meaning of a social criticism which might be respect other people by not disturbing the public order. Acid rhymes remember the lyrics Lilly Stuart used to do with ElectroDeath, but Liyah, Drake and Nate took part on the writing as well and even the producers trio ElectroLightz which clearly leave their mark in the production of the track, just take a listen to the synth beats of the track and you’ll perceive their signature electropop influence. Even though the controversy the lyrics of this track might cause in the more conservative people, the incredibly catchy chorus will infect you making you sing it along for quite a long time. Lyrics (Dope) I’ll sing ‘bout loitering ‘cause I feel like doin’ nothin’ If I put my hands inside my pants Just cause I’m horny singin’ this verse I’m just kiddin’, but what’s the matter If I want to lay down all day and sleep ‘Cause ain’t nothin’ better Than thinkin’ ‘bout nothin’, hidin’ in my shelter But I hear screams outside, oh now the cops arrived Sir, this smoke don’t come out of my mouth (eyes drops, drops, to disguise the red eyes) Sir, this small three belongs to my grandma (eyes drops, drops, to disguise the red eyes) Don’t think I have dope, just cause I’m stoned I just got a free day from a temporary job I got yesterday Sir, don’t arrest me, misunderstood me ‘cause I felt like spendin’ day and doin’ nothin’ (Dope) Brought the hookah, this room’s fog It leaves me in the best mood, no worries to disturb my laugh Red eyes staring the window, my neighbor smelled the weed Oh no that crappy bitch! She called the police Sir, this smoke don’t come out of my mouth (eyes drops, drops, to disguise the red eyes) Sir, this small three belongs to my grandma (eyes drops, drops, to disguise the red eyes) Don’t think I have dope, just cause I’m stoned I just got a free day from a temporary job I got yesterday Sir, don’t arrest me, misunderstood me ‘cause I felt like spendin’ day and doin’ nothin’ (Dope) Don’t think I have dope, just cause I’m stoned I just got a free day from a temporary job I got yesterday Sir, don’t arrest me, misunderstood me ‘cause I felt like spendin’ day and doin’ nothin’ Sounds Like

It looks like so far the music of Groove in Downtown cannot be classified at a certain genre due to the experimental level of sounds that they mix in a single track. This one is more sound alike their first single, maybe due to its strong trip hop influence but again, it has a variety of instrumentation that goes from weird and beyond even though they seem to maintain the groove of the confused melodies. There’s a funky drum sequence which is probably the signature of this track, Nate Alexander’s soulful vocals and Lilly Stuart’s childish voice is present in the choruses of it. It sounds funny and it makes you to straightly think about Japan, even though there’s no direct influence of any Japanese song at all. The odd sometimes sounds cool and that’s the main goal for this track. The lyrics are again an acid criticism to human being degradation the environment around them by the urge of modernization. So there’s several analogies of growing up and realizing how much of the landscape has changed ever since we were kids, perhaps the 30 years old at least, to nowadays, trees and a cleaner wind are some of the things that affects the human life in a negative way. It also analyzes the technology advances being sometimes cruel to the elders of our civilization. Nate Alexander might’ve taken a huge part on the writing of this music, he is signed to a lot of nature causes in order to save what is left of Earth Nature ambient. We can already predict that this track is about to become a Green Peace anthem very soon. Lyrics Down the hills on a bike In the neighborhood I was born Sighting chimneys touch the sky It was not like this, a while ago The progress of modernization Changed the landscape around An 80 years old lady feels an alien That south wind no longer blows out No one’s known anymore Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Feel the breezy Let the wind Let it touch your skin The same wind Touched your skin Down the hill Wind smells ill But let the wind Let it touch your skin Eight-hours daily journey Suits driving on their cars Seeing graffiti when they’re slowly While a seagull changes the sights Skyscrapers set the weather The asphalt can fry an egg At lunch, men on ladders Another wire, we’re in high-tech No one’s known anymore Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky Black smoke in the sky And so are the modern times Let the wind Let it touch your skin The same wind Touched your skin Down the hill Wind smells ill But let the wind Let it touch your skin Black smoke in the sky (repeat till fade) Sounds Like Edited by user 26 May 2015 05:42:03(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

As it is the fourth track of the record, we already know the writing style these duo has taken on the songs, they’re acid and if in the first track ‘Choice’ they were talking about the loneliness of stardom, now they’re talking about the cruelty on it, especially with female celebrities. As for the intro of this track we have a glimpse of what Drake does as a regular DJ, the progressive beats increasing the tempo of the track with Nate Alexander raw and full of attitude vocals repeat the ‘warming up’ line until the whole elements of this track turn it into a massive disco hit. The structure of the track blends these progressive beats, samples and making it sound funk. It has a booming bass sound, nice atmospherics and a great rolling vibe to it. It was an inspired move to feature Lilly Stuart’s warming falsettos as the main vocals while Nate backing vocals the whole track giving it an eclectic feel and a good dose of attitude as he was a commander, something fitting for the acid lyrics. Even thought the whole funk vibe of the track is evident, it appears that Groove in Downtown is keeping this contrast which interchanges between the funk and groove with the industrial and atmospheric electronic music. One of the highlights of this track is the use of backing vocals as if they were instrumentations for the track. There’s not much undercover on the lyrics for this song, it talks about the pressure to maintain success and the beauty standards that media imposes to singers, actress, models or whoever wants to be rich and famous. It also tells a story that goes from the hype of getting all the views and attention to end up in ostracism, most of celebrities when get old are forgotten and not being relevant sometimes drive people crazy, they do drugs, get depressive culminating in suicide. The last verses of the track talks about being relevant after its death, it’s cruel but it’s funny in the way all of these subjects are spoken. Overall the weirdness of the album seems to work so far, as usual, Drake’s production reflects his progressive house influence, even though these songs are way different from the loud house beats of his solo work, it seems that we are evolving since the first track of this album. For this track, again it could be a hit single, the harmonies work, as we said, they’re the highlight of the track , we bet you won’t be able to stop head nodding and singing along to this. Lyrics Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up You’re a star You’re a star Shake that booty girl Shake that booty ‘Cause they’re all waiting For you breakdown You have the looks, yes you You have the boobs You just need an advertisement To sell your talent Get all that hype Get all that hype You’re a star Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up Warming up You’re a star (Unh) Show off your real prize They get bored Too easy my darling So, show that prize You had the looks, once You had boobs Now that gravity just pulled you down Make repairs You lost the hype You lost the hype You were star Ostracism Ostracism Ostracism Ostracism Ostracism Ostracism How old are you my darling? What Hollywood Did to you my baby? You lost your mind, yeah Where’s that booty you had? Where’s that pretty face? It’s all wrinkled now You had your time You had your time You were star Forgotten Forgotten Forgotten Forgotten Forgotten Forgotten Let’s pay homage for her She’s given her life To entertain ours She was a star She’s already gone away But we loved her Yesterday she was brave Now she’s a legend She’s a legend She’s dead Sounds Like

You might think there’s still groove and funk in this one too, but something is extremely dense and it comes to be the deep house influence perceived in the melodies of this track. The six minutes and thirty six seconds follows new a trend of nightclubs around the world which comes to be the underground scene of electronic house music. Songs that are propelling themselves as the biggest hits of the night belong to this new, or not so new at all generation of underground DJs playing deep house, G-house, Techno House or if you want to call it underground electronic music. It seems Drake and his friend The Vibrator had been talking about the genre lately which means the superstar Dj knows when a trend might become the new mainstream. For this track, we have the regular long mix structure of any other nightclub house track. It starts with Deep House drum sequence, any hip hop influence is welcomed in this base, soon after some seconds of this drumming the only chorus of the track is sung, in this case we know its Nate Alexander because of the credits on the song, but his voice is distorted, right after her finishes the short rhyming chorus the Bass line breaks in with the already drum base of the track and it grows dense and heavy. It is extremely low key but it has a sense of undeniably groove and funk, which clearly is influence of the G-House, you work on a bass beat that takes influence on hip hop and funk music but yet it is electronic enough to be in a club hit like this one. Moving on to the one minute and a half of music, the underground begins to appear in atmospheric elements and effects added to the main base of the track, while that repetitive chorus dominates your brain. Near the three minutes of music, there’s a techno break, imagine Drake or The Vibrator working that turntable distorting the beats of the track in a way it sounds spiritual and atmospheric, we understand how many people will get high during this part of the track while they’re shaking thought the groove of the track. Resuming its melodies in a very cool style, the track travels back to the same structure of the first three minutes, that’s where the deep house dominates it, it keeps the dense elements together the same time the G-house flavor is adding an extra groove. Next to five minutes of track the producers let the bass line shine and it sounds enigmatic and hypnotic, the level of production on this track is superb. Few second of lonely bass and drums, Nate is back with his distorted voice repeating the funky chorus, at this point we bet all clubbers are pronouncing the senseless rhyming. Five minutes and a half, the whole track becomes minimalistic, slowly the elements of it are being taken out of it, first the bass, then the drums, and finally Nate is left repeating the chorus with a singular percussion beat until he stops the singing and the track is over. So far this whole album is coming along strangely connected, even though the songs are so much elaborated, there’s a common aspect among them that its only perceived now that we listened to this dense electronic track. Once you hear distinct genres but yet they sound coherent you find the commom thread of the album and it’s not the lyrics, it’s the sound, perhaps that’s why the name of this project is Groove in Downtown, it’s turning to make sense now. As for the single chorus of this track, it is almost not understandable due to the distortion on Nate Alexander’s voice, but after listening to it over and over, you understand the senseless complaint of everyday worker in the world. Well it seems we’ll get ready for the clubs with Groove in Downtown. Lyrics Wake in the mornin’ longin’ I’m late Get in the work I’m stuck I’m late Boss in the ear, that bitch she’s fake I’m just livin’ da life, I’m late I’m just livin’ da life Sounds Like Edited by user 22 January 2015 22:40:52(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Paying attention at the references of this track we have, Trip Hop, Indie Dance, Dub and due to the rapping alternative Hip Hop elements compiled together. Staring with a drum turn and evolving into a trip hop dense and dark sequence; before Nate sings the chorus of the track he bounces a sarcastic laugh. His voice sounds lazy, right after he finishes the chorus, Matt Young comes with his vicious rapping full of attitude almost claiming the line of the track. Despite it sounds heavy the melodies are simple, but subtle elements of all the references said are being added to the track progressively. At the second chorus, a very unusual instrument comes in, the melodica plus following the track ambient sounds and synth beats turn the song even darker and denser. We’re taking back to the first tracks of the album but yet following the shift on the mood of the sound, it certainly is a smart balance for the duo with songs taking so many references. The song reaches the end in a climax repetitive way, Nate repeats the name of the track while a variety of elements are added to the melody of the track and it also sounds like a free style DJ was working on the turntable during that part of the track, because there’s distortion and playful aspects. The trip hop influence of the tracks is clearer at the end of the music, because of ambient sounds mixed to the drum sequence. The lyrics are very straight forward, the guys wanted to make a song that would allude to the gangster rap, but believe me ALUDES, it’s far away from that style, but it has attitude and Matt Young is a difference hip hop tone to the album if we see the other two references Kidd and Liyah, so it’s safe to say that Drake and Nate knew what they were doing while inviting Matt to sing the track, they wanted diversity. We’re in the half of the album and even though ‘Livin da life’ was a big shift, the weirdness is balanced with this track, it has the dense heavy beats of the previous track but it got back to the weirdness of the first four tracks of the album. It seems that after this track things are going to get more club oriented, but nothing like any EDM track, it will be more of an underground dance record. Lyrics You seem to be unprepared You have an intelligence lack And you’re still a boaster But your cheap talk can’t buy me You’re in my black roster... Where’s your authenticity? Your bullshit, you can’t convince me You’re just a boaster Yeah, your cheap talk can’t buy me You’re in my black roster black roster black roster black roster black roster Fuck you! Acting like if you knew the business But you’re just a snotty and the world is a witness Fuck, if you think you’re somethin’ Yeah, your time is commin’ No one believes your shit Chaff is separated from the wheat So stupid Like the asshole who hired you Money to make No one’s getting money from a useless I have a smash to make You have a cake to bake Time is getting’ late You’re ‘bout to lose the game A king doesn’t hold a throne without a crown It doesn’t help shoot a video with stupid hoes While you’re chasing I’m conquering What, Young ladies? They love me I own it You lost it, I came to make story To joy the glory Victory Fans approaching, I’ll perform on domes Sell out concerts Label’s happy means a big account Now where are you? Well, it seems you’re already gone Like I told you I call the shots You seem to be unprepared You have an intelligence lack And you’re still a boaster But your cheap talk can’t buy me You’re in my black roster...

The lack of human rights such as education, food, infant and specially this last one, which is the most evident critic of the song, because of the children choir accompanying Nate Alexander’s second verse, are the main theme for this track. Nate Alexander sing in falsettos, he also added a variety of backing vocals in different keys of the main falsetto vocals that he sings, this also introduces the children choir coming right after in the second verse / chorus of the track. The song is also a fusion of several elements but its main influence by far is hip hop. Kidd Amaze participated in the writing of this song and the production of it as well, his rap takes the most part of the 3 minutes and 52 seconds of the track. He sounds ferocious and raspy while singing it, and clearly, he is including his own rough start in the music business as a subject for his rap, but he fuses it with a wider social critic adding the right mood for the track. Even though the lyrics might be bitter, the melodies are sweet and groovy. The instrumentation is fun and funk and sometimes atmospheric it contrasts directly with the lyrics, while its listeners won’t pay attention at the critic of the track, they’ll probably listen the track more than one time, because it can put you to dance. The guys knew what they were doing while creating Groove In Downtown, with instrumentations like this they’ll easily play on radio stations like they did with their firsts ingle peaking number 3 on airplay charts. The message of the lyrics will atomically dominate people’s mind due to the time these songs are going to be on repeat in dance clubs, radio or streaming websites. The opening is funky, it was reported to be produced by Kidd Amaze. After the opening, we get a dance funk tune with some atmospheric synths. A set of strings played throughout the song in some strategic times, add a classic style to it. The vocals were very well produced, Nate and his four singing tones plus the children choir and later Kidd and his raw rapping were arranged in a way to follow a progressive tempo, even though the funky beats are the main body of the whole piece. This track also marks the begging of the end for this album, it works better as a summarizes of what the album is in its first six tracks, so this is the last shift for the album, in the middle of what is indie dance music and alternative hip hop there's this track, the use of Kidd amaze was another smart move right after they used Matt Young, if Groove In Downtown wanted to be in the Hip Hop shelf, then that's a 'mission accomplished'. Lyrics No one likes to be called dumb But everyone seems to act like one Primary rights aren’t yours anymore The world is lost Yet no one knows That we live without a cause We live without a cause No one likes to be called a dumb Still everyone seems to act like one Human rights are gone The fate of poor ones No one seems to know But we live without a cause We live without a cause People tend to look at me and try to categorize Look at myself and my envoirment to analyze I’m African American, so I’m a rapper or a baller And with glasses on I must have been a scholar Really all this couldn’t be more father, from your truth seek You couldn’t look and tell but I am rather meek And as I child I had trouble finding words to speak Yet, here I am not in that box you tried to fit me in Sadly I overcame all the adversity to their chagrin Wonder why I would be so bold to stand as an equal Did you ever think if being “free” could be lethal? Ever wonder why, cause all this needed was a spark Remember what happen in Saigon and took it to heart Belief that something will get better if you just reach Might have made a difference if you went and teach Look at me, do you think that I’m a pacifist Like the people before trying to be the catalyst The Parks, the Anthony, the Gandhi? Rushmore of Peace, you think that’s where you find me? Realistically, I just looking for the golden rule Ability to see what others see and use as fuel Powerful enough to stop a tank in its tracks Be able to lift everyone in places where they lack I’m just talking crazy, I know the insanity The fact that can I still believe in humanity So, what going to happen we all want to know the endgame Know if we rose from the ashes or down in a ball of flame I don’t know the answer but every day is process Try to make it easier for the kids coming after it a mod set A patch that could grow into something astronomical To be old with the childlike wonder of anything possible No one seems to know We live without a cause Sounds Like

If you still remember her tone, you’ll recognize her warm and breathy vocals, very sexy and extremely appealing for the downtempo of this track. Groove in Downtown took us back to the 90’s with the melodies for this track. The song sounds easy listening, it can calm down your mind when you need to relax or in some bad mood/situation. The groove word was taken seriously in this tune, the use of bass and the soft touch of drum, with a little bit sound effect like trumpet or trombone makes the cut of instrumentation used to make this a relaxing yet danceable tune. Even though the rest of the album might sound dense and heavy it seems that at least for five minutes the listeners at the club can go buy a drink or go to the bathroom, or if you’re listening it in your room, you can drink a coffee or a cup of tea and just relax. The theme of its lyrics is the sensation most clubbers experience when a big party ends, they sometimes like to go on after parties so the party won’t stop, but at the end it is not the same after you live the party that you were waiting for. It’s kind of sad, but not depressing, it uses the sunlight as a sign that the party is finally over, perhaps it is a song to be played at the end of DJs set lists. Drake could not make an album without writing a song that makes reference to his work as a DJ, in terms of his own writing style the other tracks of this record are hardly different from his personal lyrics, perhaps this one is the most alike to him as any other of this project. We’ve gone through hip hop and dense electronic music and it seems that here we have the deepest lack of connection among the songs of the album. Even if this track still has the groove and tries to maintain the commom thread that we noticed a few tracks ago, it goes a little too far into a new direction that we won’t see in the rest of the album, which means that this is probably the weirdest track of it. Lyrics The sun came out The music is not that loud The people seem passed out Where’s the after party The sun just came out Sweet feeling nostalgic Drop it When the sun comes out The music won’t be loud The inevitable doubt Where’s the after party The sun came out Not as sweet as nostalgic When you're at your home You find yourself alone You miss your friends and so just one night is too few To make you feel good, to make you feel loved One more week before Saturday The sun came out After party After party When the sun comes out The music won’t be loud The inevitable doubt Where’s the after party The sun came out Not as sweet as nostalgic When you're at your home You find yourself alone You miss your friends and so just one night is too few To make you feel good, to make you feel loved One more week before Saturday The sun came out The music is not that loud The people seem passed out Where’s the after party The sun just came out Sweet feeling nostalgic The sun came out Where’s the after… The sun came out Where’s… Drop it After Party After Party Drop it Sounds Like

During this first half minute of the track the Techno influence of this song is already being incorporated on it with electronic elements and ambient sounds, soon as the drumming kicks in, Liyah performs the first verse of the track with R&B vocals. The track is building up its own full shape as Lyiah sings the lines other elements are added to the main structure of the track till it progressively builds to a techno turn while Liyah’s vocals are used with other harmonies and effects until it breaks into a Techno House beat with drumming, bass and synths. One minute and a half into the track and it already transformed into a dance alternative club hit. Drake and The Vibrator used freestyle turntable synth beats and other distortions and elements to make the sound fluid and fresh, even though there’s a remarkable drum and bass base on the background of the track setting the tempo for it. That’s when the alternative electronic music influence appears, in this switching of elements and effects used above the techno house base, what is actually even better is the fact that the soulful tone of the first verse of this track is still within this complex mixture of beats. After two minutes and a half slowly the song resumes to its introduction melodies, for that the DJs kept the drumming but started to resume the other elements into ambient sounds, vocals harmonies and effects such as echoes and synthesizers, a little further Nate Alexander keeping the same soulful tone to his voice sings the second verse of the track. His singing ends in a half turn moment of the track where it seemed that another breakdown would come, but in fact the DJs decided to literally resume the track to a atmospheric and sensorial breakdown before they release the tech house beats. This sensorial moment is composed of ambient sounds and another verse performed by Lyiah, this being the very last singing part of the track. Right after this break come the techno house beats, just like before. For the rest of the track its drum, bass and freestyle DJ until the track fades. Lyrically it is the only ‘love’ themed song of the entire album. It is clearly talking about the end of a relationship and the person noticing someone that it cannot be trapped into any form of censorship or behavior because of its ‘free spirit’. It also reveals that this character suffered a betrayal and hurting this person encourages itself to move on and to be far away from that abusive relationship. In the end its revealed that there’s a good chance for this person to love again, because it has not lost hope in love. Finally reaching the end of the album, the dense and heavy beats for clubs seem to be the objective with this few three last tracks, obviously we already heard ‘can I exist’ and comparing it to this one, it’s clearly perceived the heavy bass that both has, Groove in Downtown will end this album groovier than anything. Lyrics If you walk out that door, make sure it’s all over ‘Cause I'm not accepting you back, no more The days of loneliness won’t last, no longer You cannot redeem of your infamous sins You cannot stop a spirits who’s free I’m a free spirit, I’m a free spirit I’m a free spirit… Free, free, free Far away as I may go you cannot reach me There won’t be trails for you to follow me This is the voice of my heart speaking through me The years of repression were so long ago I’m finally brave to face what’s unknown I’m a free spirit, I’m a free spirit I’m a free spirit… I say what I want With all the air in my lungs I’m a free spirit… I don’t care the atrocities of human attitudes I know how people can be mean, and terribly cruel I’ve been told this, ever since I was born And scars of your harms made me strong like stone While I kept in my heart pulsating blood I didn’t give up on love… But yet, I’m a free spirit… Free, free, free Sounds Like

Seconds inside the track there’s a low key bass line adding a house element to the disco drums, keeping a progressively growth, synth beats break in the track setting a hip hop mood to the track transforming it into a G-House smash. Nate gives his best vocal performance of the entire record, there are not so much effects on his voice and Drake knew what he was doing by letting Nate’s clean falsettos shine over that choruses. Despite its heavy dance approach, this track can really be a radio hit as well, the structure is much alike any other hip hop or R&B track that’s on the airplay, but this one doesn’t sound predictably because e of the house elements it has. Backing vocals are also performed by Nate and during the verses of the track there’s a surf rock guitar riff which totally makes the difference adding such funk style to its dance melodies. After the second verse the song has a hook moment where Nate vocalizes, this structure is much alike to pop tracks, that’s obviously the big commercial appeal of this song, later comes another verse and a freestyle singing pre-chorus, all this elements make this track unusual and pleasant the same time, it has a sense of style that will make people bounce on the dance-floor. The highlight of this track is undeniably the vocal performance by Nate, he sounds sexy and appealing. To end the track Drake and The Vibrator decided to make it progressively lower and slower till the only element playing is the bass and in a sudden it fades away. It seems that these last two tracks of the album will be talking about the anxiety and mysteries of the human mind. The identity crisis in this track is almost the same talked about in ‘Can I Exist’ but here we have a discussion on where is the good of mankind, because it seems that nature has its beautiful places and even among the bad things the good can always appear. Through this search of happiness there’s the failure of human beings to substitute love in their own ways, like doing drugs or anything like that, there’s a deep message of overcoming sadness and hardness in this track, smartly written. Like we analyzed before the album is walking to end in dense hardcore house beats, even though they all have their own particularity sounding unique due to a bunch of mixing and weird sounds that work properly, Groove in Downtown has only a single common thread among these music which is the groove and the opportunity for its fans to bounce in high gangsta hip hop style. Lyrics A flower Sprout amidst the trash The rain Washed away its petals It can mean anything It may even go unnoticed But it makes me wonder Simple things are life’s wonders Substitute love Living on days of fun My substitute love No sweet but bitter The void inside Grows each time This troubled life Darkens my bright side In the middle of the dross one naked man of his hatred Asking a penny While walkers passing by wearing their suit and ties No one looks aside No one can see after its own pride No one can help him He was deceived by greater lies Substitute love Living on days of fun My substitute love No sweet but bitter The void inside Grows each time This troubled life Darkens my bright side Ohh Ohh Ohh Substitute Love Ohh ohh ohhh Along the way (Hey) The beginning became his last attempt In the fatigue of trying He decided to give up on two horizontal lines “Hey this is not the way…” “My friend, It’s not the best way out!” “Surrender, won’t bring you the answer” “For your heart” That was said By “the liar” He was lost Substitute love Living on days of fun My substitute love No sweet but bitter The void inside Grows each time This troubled life Darkens my bright side Substitute love Substitute love Substitute love Substitute love Substitute love Substitute love Substitute love Sounds Like

Writer(s): Drake Anton Zaslavsky, Nate Alexander, The Vibrator, Lilly Stuart Producer(s): Groove in Downtown, The Vibrator Genre: Alternative Hip Hop, Alternative Rock, New Disco Length: 3:41 Production and Songwriting “Can I exist” was the first single of the album.Influences on the sound of the track is a combination of alternative hip hop, specially the soulful and rap vocals performed by Nate Alexander, alternative rock because of the acoustic guitar and violins heard in the hook of the track and new disco, an electronic genre that’s been taking the underground scene by storm, it’s perceived on the track due to the bass line and the drum sequence of the track. All of these elements together in only one song might’ve sound confusing, but they were so well produced by Groove in Downtown and The Vibrator. The track starts with Nate whispering the word “exist” followed by a funky bass line riff, later on the new disco drums fill the track with groove and fasten its tempo, the same time Nate sings the first verse of the track, this one being sung with soulful vocals. Nate has a soft voice singing, but he sounds dope as if he was tired of singing, it’s so fitting for the melodies of the track. Before the chorus there’s an acoustic rock hook, with some strings and acoustic guitar, Nate’s vocals receive some effects and the track turns back to the funky bass line and new disco drums, while Nate starts his rap. You might think Nate’s rap could sound cheap, but it doesn’t, well his voice is not alone there, we can hear backing vocals and different effects on his voice. The second hook of the track is longer than the first one, this shift between the new disco to alternative rock makes the track sound cool and underground, but there’s no deny that in the end it is mainstream as anything that Drake has produced before. The lyrics are a social critic of human being lifestyle and media influence in our lives. The question can I exist certainly works as a critic to a society that’s connected one hundred per cent of its time on internet or television or any other “cheap” source of news and futility. Religion is another there talked in the lyrics of the track, they are claiming that advertising is the tool to conquer people and some of the ideologies used on it can cause severe harms to human race such as the social acceleration and the sickness of the 21st century. Two allusion are made throughout the lyrics of the track, the first one is the holy bible used as a metaphor for advertising inducing people to buy stuffs they don’t need to, the other one is the dust of the asphalt making us blind, the landscape of the big metropolis are in constant changes and we seem not to perceive it, because we’re part of this changes. Overall the song just tries to reach for as many genres as possible and still coming out as a pop song. Catchy melody, most likely thanks to the awesome bass line and the new disco drum sequence, a hook that switches of the club beat and begins an acoustic guitar with even some violins. Then the rap comes in, which has a great flow and acid lyrics. This is only the first piece of music we get from this ambitious but not purposeful side project. It's end of one of the weirdest albums released in a while, certainly people will get entertained by this project, not only because of the funky music that will explode speakers on the dancefloor but the visual aspects of everything, the social lyrics the street culture that's being acclaimed in this album will be appealing to a very large audience. Lyrics Exist (5X) Dust rising of the streets is making me blind But it’s been some time I can’t feel my eyes It’s like if you were trying to see beyond you But my mom long ago told me “don’t believe, you fool” Each one is with its own perception of reality Even though is impossible to accept it But hey, you cannot often be changeable I’m trying to find my way out of this hypocrisy, but it’s inevitable Holy book make me understand Give a hand, be complacent Make me catch a glimpse of future What you’re saying? Good old preacher Is there true behind these lies? Everyone so busy, out of time Television gives me a meaning Can I exist? Massages of peace in cheap posters While life is oscillating like a roller coaster Give us a little hope Cover us with your holy robe While advertising is selling us a piece in heaven Tricking our eyes, strayed on channel seven This is all bullshit Hahahahahaa, Age of consumerism, And supremacy If you’re fancy Then I’m your friend Yo, they call it nepotism I call it opportunism Gain it and stick with me Yo, we’ll both win Fight to survive this shit Even if you can’t see Fuck, I follow the trend Holy book make me understand Give a hand, be complacent Make me catch a glimpse of future What you’re saying? Good old preacher Is there true behind these lies? Everyone so busy, out of time Television gives me a meaning Can I exist?

Very different and enjoyable, artsy and full of substance. Its not your typical record, this is so much more than that. Groove in Downtown, big ups for delivering such a great album to start off 2015. Every track has a different focus and subject and that has really made this a fresh listen. I'll be buying.
