Drake (Seemingly) Speaks On Connection Between ‘Hotline Bling’ & D.R.A.M.’s ‘Cha Cha’

dram

Last week (and before D.R.A.M. let his frustrations out about it), Drake did an interview with The FADER, which saw him actually speak on the similarities between his hit record ‘Hotline Bling’ and the Virginia emcee’s ‘Cha Cha’. Basically, he compared it to the dancehall riddims in Jamaica, which sees several artists jumping on one beat:

You know, like in Jamaica, you’ll have a riddim and it’s like, everyone has to do a song on that. Imagine that in rap, or imagine that in R&B. Imagine if we got one beat and every single person—me, this guy, this guy, all these guys—had to do a song on that one beat. So sometimes I’ll pick a beat that’s a bit, like, sunnier, I guess is the word you used, than usual, and I just try my hand at it. And that’s kind of what ‘Hotline Bling’ was. And I loved it. It’s cool. I’ve been excited by that sort of creative process.

Fair enough, we suppose.
