“Missin You Remix” - Drake and Trey Songz.

For months, I have listened to Drake on a daily basis - I literally haven’t been as excited as this about a rapper for five or six years. “Missin You” is originally from Trey Songz’ 2007 “Trey Day” album but Drake’s verse takes an already great track and makes it even better.

This is from the “Comeback Season Mixtape” (free download link here), released last year. It’s the second of three mixtapes Drake’s released: they’re all eminently worth downloading, and look out for his official full-length release on Atlantic Records later this year.

The lyric “I’m scared that every girl I care for will find a better man and end up happier in the long run” is one of the most poignant, honest hip hop lyrics I’ve ever heard. A sentiment I can relate to.
