Drake Drops ‘Scary Hours 3’ Instrumentals — But With A Twist

Drake has officially dropped the instrumentals to Scary Hours 3 as promised – but instead of streaming services, he’s taking it back to the blog era.

Released on Thanksgiving Day (November 23), the beats are available as a free download on his website, DrakeRelated.

The 6 God’s surprise project arrived last week, and was immediately followed with the announcement of the then-forthcoming instrumentals. And with that, he issued a challenge to his his rap peers to bring their best bars over the beats from The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, Ovrkast and more.

Announcing Scary Hours 3 last week, Drake detailed his thought process behind releasing the material, all of which was recorded in the weeks following the October release of his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs.

“I feel no need to appease anybody,” he said. “I feel so confident about the body of work that I just dropped that I know I could go disappear for, whatever, six months, a year, two years—even though I’m not really, like, into the super lengthy disappearances for the sake of mystery.

“But, you know, ultimately, it’s coming to me in a way that I haven’t experienced maybe since, like, If You’re Reading This, where it’s just kind of like I feel like I’m on drugs. I feel like I’m in that mental state without doing anything.”

Drake continued: “I did those songs in the last five days. I didn’t have one bar written down for those songs on the night that For All the Dogs dropped. It’s not like I’m picking up from some unfinished shit, you know? This is just, it’s happening on its own. And, you know, who am I to fight it, right?”

The surprise release comprised of six tracks, which included a feature from J. Cole who Drake recently revealed was going to be co-headlining a tour with him.

The two rap titans will be hitting the road together in 2024 for a series of 18 shows starting in January in Colorado and running until March, with the final co-headlining date coming in Kentucky.
