    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought Whats Next had some interesting production and a memorable chorus as well, and some very decent rhymes as well. It sounds effortless and really enjoyable compared to a lot of the other boring stuff he has done. Wants and Needs is less interesting, his flow at the beginning is puzzling as it is not flowing with the beat at all and the collaboration is just so-so.The freestyle with Rick Ross is more interesting and Ross's delivery is much more interesting and Drake is decent as well. The track also has some background vocals which make it a bit more interesting as well. Not bad.… Expand

    When I heard that this was released, I went into this expecting a decent hip-hop EP. But OH JESUS, that was not what I got.
    In "What's Next," Drake is essentially repeating the same flow throughout all of the verses to the point of it sounding atonal, repetitive, boring, and flat. The synth in that song is unflattering and obnoxious, and so is the rest of this god-awful EP. I have a    When I heard that this was released, I went into this expecting a decent hip-hop EP.

I have a feeling that if I dive too deep into just how bad this EP is, I'm pretty sure that I would start having a panic attack and bite my fingernails until they bleed. This is the only Drake-related thing I have heard, and after listening to this EP, it makes me scared of listening to his other works. It's THAT discouraging.

    Buen EP, no es lo mejor de drake pero se defiende, para ser la cantidad de canciones que tiene logra su objetivo.

    Drake's best release in a while, all 3 of these songs offer a nice bit of variety as well

    Definitely not a bad EP, but definitely not great for Drake’s standards. What’s Next is pretty generic, Wants and Needs is a pretty good song but held up significantly by Lil Baby, but Lemon Pepper Freestyle is a great track and both Rick Ross and Drake are great on it.

    This album is kind of trash, the only song I really liked is Lemon Pepper freestyle, with the angelic, R&B production of Boi-1da and AP assisting Drake’s classic flow he was always known for. What’s Next is a rip-off of every Playboi Carti song production-wise and is overall just very boring and plain. And as for Wants and Needs, well I just forgot about that as soon as the song was over.This album is kind of trash, the only song I really liked is Lemon Pepper freestyle, with the angelic, R&B production of Boi-1da and AP assisting Drake’s classic flow he was always known for.

    great ep. Unfortunately his 2 studio albums after this weren't good but this was a banger ep.

    A pretty solid 3 track EP. Drake has a great flow on these songs, and the production sounds great as well.

    Esse álbum é muito ruim! Um trabalho que mostra o desespero do drake para não cair no esquecimento! Nota 0

    The sequel to his 2018 two-pack ranges from “just OK, I guess” to “pretty damn impressive” — in a smooth 3-song sonic gradient.

    He’s still in peak form. Each song on “Scary Hours 2″ is different and reflective of Drake’s rap-kaleidoscope nature. If this EP is any indication of what “Certified Lover Boy” might sound like, then we might be in for one of the rapper’s most introspectively jarring and anthem-heavy projects in a long time.

    Breezy and club-ready standout ‘What’s Next’ isn’t too dissimilar to ‘Laugh Now, Cry Later’; the quietly simmering ‘Wants and Needs’, which features a glittering star turn from Lil Baby, evokes some of the more brooding parts of ‘Scorpion’; and ‘Lemon Pepper Freestyle’ is the kind of exuberant freestyle cut that we know Drake likes to close his projects with.
