Hot Jam of the Day: PartyNextDoor, “Come and See Me” (f/ Drake)

PartyNextDoor
“Come and See Me” (f/ Drake)
P3 (OVO Sound, release date TBA)
Count me as one of the skeptics of Drake’s current tough-guy/faux Roadman stage. To my ears, the 6 God is at his best when he’s chilling in his slippers with a reflective 40 beat, nursing a half-full glass of red wine and trolling through texts from his exes. Thankfully, he’s back in his comfort zone on this lovely single from his trusty wingman, PartyNextDoor. PND’s warbling and 40’s sparse piano chords set the table perfectly for Drizzy to deliver a vintage sadboi verse, which reminds us that while more rappers are in their feelings than ever before, few are capable of packing the emotional heft of the Godfather of the #feels. More like this please.
