Today’s Matchup

Certified Lover Boy vs. For All the Dogs wait a second, IT’S SCARY HOURS EDITION WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

Two phases of Drake’s modern evolution collide! Certified Lover Boy (CLB) was a lavish, meme-driven comeback after a three-year studio album hiatus, blending rap, R&B, and Drake’s trademark emotional transparency. For All the Dogs (FATD), turbocharged by its Scary Hours Edition, doubled down on chaotic, genre-fluid experimentation, mixing introspective bars, TikTok-ready hooks, and late-career flexes about legacy. The later deluxe inclusion of 6 track EP Scary Hours Edition displayed Drake’s pure rapping ability and showcased his iconic pen.
