New flows. New music. Says Mr. Graham:

My good friends,It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

  18. NYC says:

  19. Paul Anaconda says:

    Drake Needs To Leave YM/CMB. Their Lack Of Talent Taints His Look.

  20. Gaz says:

    Its dope but…… Having it as a lead single? Really, I could see it being a dope part to the flow of an album, just not much of a stand alone song.

  21. Ya Boy G says:

    Cmon. Shit was smooth.

  22. Ten Macaroni Necklaces says:

    He should get some other rappers on this. For some reason I can hear jeezy ripping this.

  23. Ea$y Bread says:

  29. vvho says:

    this shit sucks, and no im not being a “hater” like all you morans are so quick to call someone. But this is weak

  30. Based Based Barea says:

    This shit is weak as FUCK!!

    This nigga said started from the bottom…..Oh REALLY? YOU USED TO BE A CHILD ACTOR.Where’s the bottom?

  31. cheeeese says:

    yeah everybody so anxious to hear new Drake music their gonna hype this up, good song but not really good single material.

  32. MJ says:

    From Over to Headlines…to this?

  33. J.MILLIONAIRE says:

    it, ok

  34. ThankYouGoodDay says:

    I’m not even a fan like that but sometimes you gotta just enjoy the music just to enjoy it. But haters always wanna nitpick and shit, oh he never started from the bottom he was a child actor. So fucking what? It’s still motivational music that people that are trying to do shit with their life can actually relate to. I know you internet thugs like to blog all day but there’s people that actually chase success in the real life. Never bought a Drake album, maybe never will but dude is still talented, he’s worked with lots of legends in the game. Hope you underground rap nerds hear this everywhere u go until you’re sick of it

  35. kj says:

    Started from a wheelchair now we’re here.

  36. Mook says:

    Better than The Motto…you will hear cars bumping this just watch…it goes and it sounds like nothing on radio right now. Drake is a hit maker period.

  37. Slim Baller says:

    It’s ight. He needs to work with TMINUS again tho

  38. Mook says:

    Damn this is one song tho I’m sure T Minus is going to be all over his next album…Smh yall be acting picky when it comes to drake and most of yall not even fans lol I don’t get it…

  39. michelle michelle says:

    clean

  40. Anon DCPL says:

    I’ve been a Drake hater, I can admit. I tried giving this track a chance. Can’t front, the beat is pretty sick, would love to hear the TDE camp over this, minus Drake. But I still can’t take this a nigga serious.

  41. Evil says:

    Expected better.The hook is played way too much and the verses are short

  42. JEEZY THE GOD OF TRAP says:

    snowgo

  43. Word says:

    I’m sure it’s typical Drake. Very safe music. He doesn’t do too much outside his comfort zone so it’s hard to hate. But hey I haven’t heard it yet since for some reason I can only load up certain content from this here phone of mine. Just commenting on the typical mixed feelings of a Drake song. A lot of “mehs”. The haters will hate. The stans will love. Its the in betweeners you gotta pay attention too. The casual Drake listeners usually keep it real.

  44. Jerzzz says:

    Started from the bottom?
    Haha nigga you started in an affluent neighbourhood in Toronto with your parents.
    You started on Degrassi high when you were 11.
    Wheres the bottom for you? When your moms didnt get you a BMW for your Bar Mitzvah?
    Fuck outta here

  45. still best rite now!! says:

    Somebody was influenced by Kendrick’s album ??? hmmmm

  46. G says:

    females will like just because its drake, and dudes gonna dickride it because they know females like it,….song is pretty decent tho, not amazing……

  47. the brain trust says:

    The beat and the hook are so fucking tough.

    It’s a shame that the verses employ the same flow as the hook, are so short & lack any real quotables.

    With a few tweaks, this song coulda been fucking huge. I like it though

  48. KAREEM says:

    DRAKE – “STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM” >>>>> KANYE WEST – “CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING”
