has surprised fans with a new track called “Draft Day,” which he shared through the . The piercing track, which is a nod to Texas A&M football bad boy Johnny Manziel, features a sample of Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).” He uses the track to respond to his critics, but also throws a few tough nods to Chance the Rapper and Jay Z.
“And if I left shit to chance I would’ve picked a name like Chance the Rapper,” Drake says in the track. Not a total burn, but a bit of a sting. Next on the hit list, Jay Z. Drake is a little more calculated with his jab at Jigga. While not fully using Jay’s name, but alluding to the life of a married man with, “Just hits, no misses, that’s for the married folk.”
Our favorite line on the track, though, has to be, “On some ‘Hunger Games’ shit, I would die for my district.” He follows it up with, “Jennifer Lawrence you can really get it.”
