Meek Mill & Drake – “R.I.C.O.” (Vincent Remix) It keeps the alluringly simple synth notes in tact, fading Rihanna’s sensual drawl in and out of focus, as if you’re peeping her from across a dark, neon flashing dance floor. This version from the ever-funky dudes of Phantoms turns up the disco vibes with space-ace sounds and a healthy walking bassline. It’s always fun to pit two remixes of the same song next to one another. The chipmunk vocal chop and the trap drums on the hook are booty-rockin’ bonus. One moment it’s sweet and sugary, the perfect teenage love story soundtrack, then he turns it out into a sexy bass beat for the devilish adults in the room. He takes a summer smash you could sing backwards in your sleep and turns it inside out and upside down. R3hab is one of the music industry’s most beloved go-to remixers. Speaking of Drake remixes, check out these Drake songs remixed from some of the most talented producers in the dance music scene, and even some covers from some of your other favorite R&B, pop and hip-hop artists.
There’s even an L.A. party series that hits the road called Drake Party that just plays sick Drake remixes all night. It’s incredibly inspiring for other producers in the electronic scene. Drake brings that heat every time, in large part due to his great production team with 40 and the rest.
He can play it hard and dark, he can play it light and romantic, he can play it tropical, danceable and everything in between. Since Nothing Was the Same, he switched up his whole release strategy, dropping singles apropos of nothing, turning diss tracks into scene anthems and making surprise albums and Spotify playlists into weapons of mass radio destruction. There were a solid four years when it felt like Drake was dropping a new hit song every month.
He was once a young actor, but his acting days are over, ‘cept he can’t stop acting like he’s the best because he is. All hail Drake, the sadboy king, the OVO ting, the living legend who single-handedly renamed Toronto “the 6” for seemingly no real reason at all.
