that's good but I'm not sure it was worth having the phrase "popcorn and mustard intercourse" in my mind

We Caa Done ft. Drake
(maybe don't focus too hard on Drake's "accent" though)

Popcaan in fine form but Drake's feat so so weak that it ruins the song. But if that's running up to an album I will definitely listen.

new album Great Is He is out Jan 27
My expectations for this were subterranean so it's possible that I'm overrating it, but Popcaan sounds great and he hasn't released anything at all good in a very long time. And then Drake is so weird I guess I find it entertaining? It borders on the surreal; I almost laugh when he starts saying "we can-not done" like even his own brain/tongue is like "bro stop this"

wasn’t blown away by the pre-album singles and the Burna collabo on the new album is very underwhelming as well. mediocre song, although Burna is okay on it.Popcaan’s apparent compulsion to use “pussy tight” in literally all of his songs (“Great Is He” excepted) is very grating. not sure I will want to delve into this album

Sad to say, you probably shouldn't bother. There are a few good tracks, but it's definitely a chore to get through. He's really become hollow as a pop persona—no real character or POV—and the opulently lethargic production + social media spirituality blah blah sounds cynical and wack, even the horny stuff is flat.
Maybe the real tell is how bad "Set It" is: a retro ragga exercise that his production team should be able to knock out of the park that for some reason sounds like *absolute shit* (seriously listen to Lady Saw's Good Wuk afterwards).
Only listened once, but this was the highlight among the new tracks for me, mostly for the production tbh:
