Aubrey Drake Graham, or Drake, officially released his 7th studio album entitled “Her Loss” on October 22. The album was set to be a collaborative album with rap artist 21 Savage. 

The album consisted of 16 songs total. Eleven songs were colab songs by the artists, four songs were by Drake, and one song was by 21 Savage. The album consisted of one feature, including other popular rap artist Travis Scott. The artists have collaborated before for a couple songs, “Jimmy Cooks” which came out on June 17 and “Knife Talk” which released on September 3, 2021. They also came together on a song called “Sneakin’,” which was released on October 29, 2016. 

“Her Loss” pulled in a lot of great reviews and positive feedback. Drake and his producing team did a good job creating different types of songs. Some songs are slow and relaxing, other songs more exciting and can pump listeners up. A couple of the songs consist of both, having a transition from the slow beat to more upbeat and exciting. The album length was perfect for its listeners. Not a small amount of songs and not a large amount to tire its fans. The most listened to songs included “Rich Flex,” “Major Distribution,” and “Circo Loco.”

Their audience did notice that the album was a little lopsided. They noticed that Drake had done a lot more singing than 21 Savage had done. If they had split the singing down the middle, the album could have been slightly better according to its audience. Other than this, fans and listeners did not have a lot of negativity towards this album. Everyone thought 21 Savage and Drake collaborated very well together as they did with their previous couple songs. 

Overall, this album should definitely be recommended to all fans, not just hip-hop/rap fans.
