Enough, Drake! Why the hip-hop superstar really needs to take a break

nypost.com:

Drake announced the surprise release of his “Scary Hours 3” EP — in an elaborate, two-minute trailer posted on Instagram — mere hours before it dropped at midnight on Friday, I could barely muster up a shrug.Nor was I impressed that he apparently came up with all six of these new songs just five days right before the trailer dropped. (Although OK, OK, the fact that he could get his hometown Toronto Symphony Orchestra onboard for a quickie shoot is a baller flex.)This EP — the third in his “Scary Hours” series that started in 2018 — comes only six weeks after the release of the hip-hop superstar’s “For All the Dogs” album, and its six tracks are also featured on an expanded “Scary Hours” edition of Drake’s eighth solo LP.But in case you aren’t keeping track — and really, how could all but the most devoted Drizzy fans be at this point? — “For All the Dogs” was already 22(!) new Drake songs.

And that’s not even counting the “Screw the World” interlude that serves as a much-needed intermission midway through the 85 minutes.Sorry, but “The Godfather” it is not.If you still hadn’t made it through the whole album six weeks later, you would be forgiven.But before many loyal listeners have even had enough time to properly digest “For All the Dogs,” here comes “Scary Hours 3.” And what’s truly scary is how much music Drake has been bombarding us with — whether we’re ready for it or not.I say this as an O.G.

Drake fan, all the way back to “Best I Ever Had” in 2009.Before “For All the Dogs” and “Scary Hours 3,” the last 17 months also saw Drake release “Honestly, Nevermind” — a house album that came and went without getting the love it deserved — in June 2022; and “Her Loss” — a collaborative LP with 21 Savage that just received.
