This isn’t underrated at all. Drake barely in it. The chick and the beat make this song. Drake makes this song horrible. Stop being such a 8–D rider
Thomas Cook
@V1RTU4L I know who black coffee is bro.
Ish Beshhh
Truly. This album was really fucking clean through and through. It was severely underrated and the best songs weren’t even single releases IMO.
Ish Beshhh
Thomas Cook lmfao. You could just not like the album in silence you know. Why are you even on his album listening and commenting if the album sucks so much. Looks like you the one riding other ppl bro. Get a hobby.

just listen to this with headphones, close your eyes and picture yourself on a deck facing the calm ocean with the sun just setting. Beautiful song from Drake and more importantly Jorja Smith. <3
