Drake has released 100GB of new data, which includes three previously unheard songs as well as archived content and footage. Among the content is a clip of him rehearsing a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Rock With You’. The 8-minute-long clip of Drake’s rendition of ‘Rock With You’ incorporates bits of ‘Don’t Matter To Me’, a collaboration from his 2018 album ‘Scorpion’ made with one of Jackson’s unused vocal sessions.
The footage may have been from backstage during the Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour, which took place shortly after Drake released ‘Scorpion’ and Migos dropped ‘Culture II’. Other footage in the 100GB data includes clips of him rehearsing with Rihanna for a live performance of ‘Take Care’, videos of him recording his feature in Kanye West’s ‘Yikes’, scrapped songs, and extended versions of his previously shared tracks.
Drake’s 100GB website also gave fans insight into his artistic process. In the footage, it was revealed that he originally wanted Future to collaborate with him on his hit 2015 song ‘Hotline Bling’. In a separate tribute to Michael Jackson, the USA synchronised swimming Olympic team moonwalked upside down underwater during an MJ-inspired routine on Monday (August 5), each wearing an outfit inspired by the singer, and delivered the routine to his 1987 classic track ‘Smooth Criminal’.
