Drake is on a roll. Last month, he released his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs, and today, he returns with For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, which features the 23 Dogs songs you already know, plus six new ones he evidently recorded this week. The project is the follow-up to Scary Hours 2, a three-song pack that dropped back in March 2021.
In an Instagram teaser video, Drizzy explained why he felt compelled to break us off with new music.
“I feel no need to appease anybody,” he said. “I feel so confident about the body of work that I just dropped, I know I could go disappear for, whatever, six months, a year, two years—even though I’m not really into the super lengthy disappearances for the sake of mystery. But, you know, ultimately, it’s coming to me in a way that I haven’t experienced maybe since, like, If You’re Reading This, where I feel like I’m on drugs. I feel like I’m in that mental state without doing anything.
“I did those songs in the last five days. I didn’t have one bar written down for those songs on the night that For All the Dogs dropped. It’s not like I’m picking up from some unfinished shit. You know, this is just happening on its own. And who am I to fight it?”
