Drake releases new song 'Summer Sixteen': Announces Views from the 6 release date

'I got a bigger pool than Ye / and look man, Ye’s pool is nice / Mine's just big is what I'm saying'

(Drake)

Drake has been hard at work over the last year, releasing two mixtape in 2015 alone - If You're Reading This It's Too Late and the Future collaboration What a Time to Be Alive.

True to his word, the rapper has announced the release date of his fourth studio album, Views from the 6, debuting the single 'Summer Sixteen' on his Apple Beats 1 radio show while simultaneously releasing it online.

Produced by long-time collaborator Noah “40” Shebib, Boi-1da, and CuBeatz, the lyrics take playful shots at fellow rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West, rapping: “I used to wanna be on Roc-A-Fella, then I turned into Jay / Now I got a house in LA / Now I got a bigger pool than Ye / and look man, Ye’s pool is nice / Mine's just big is what I'm saying.” Listen below.

Also referenced is President of the United States Obama - who recently said Kendrick Lamar was a better rapper than Drake - in the lines: "Tell Obama that my verses are just like the whips that he in, they bulletproof.”

This isn’t the first time Drake has debuted new music through his Beats show. Both his Future collar mixtape, Meek Mill diss track ‘Charged Up’ and ‘Hotline Bling’ all made appearances on the show before being officially released.

Drake said the new album should be out in April, saying he was “working overtime” to finish it. There is still no exact date.
