The day after his 28th birthday, Drake surprised fans with three new songs released on his website OVO Sound.
Yesterday, Drake took to Twitter to point fans to his website before releasing three songs via his Soundcloud account, including the official version of the recently leaked “How Bout Now.” Drake also released two new songs called “Heat of the Moment” and “6 God” produced by Noah “40” Shebib and Boi-1da and Syk Sense respectively.
You should probably keep an eye on that http://t.co/nbg6jDGUmN in the next hour…just saying…

That wasn’t an EP. Just 3 songs that I knew some hackers had. But enjoy! Back to this album.

“Black Benz on the road, boy / I already had a Rolls Royce / Sold a couple Bentleys last week, they were my old toys,” Drake raps on “6 God,” “I’m the real 6 God, boy.”
After releasing the songs, Drake announced that the tracks don’t comprise an EP but were songs he knew were in the possession of hackers. The release and mention of hackers seems to be a reaction to a high-school student from Georgia apparently leaking Drake’s “How Bout Now” last week.
