Drake‘s fondness for the UK has been well documented over the years. The Toronto native has picked up on the similarities his city in Ontario has with the UK’s capital London, within the realms of music and culture. Whether it’s asking some of the best talent across the pond to link up with him on tracks, or randomly popping up at their shows, Drake’s love for the British Isles knows no bounds, and it’s just got even more legendary.
Today the 6 God dropped the video he’d teased on his instagram a couple of weeks ago, with his ‘Behind Barz’ shoot with the infamous Link Up TV. Known as one of the UK’s biggest platforms for promoting and pushing new talent in rap, grime and R&B, Link Up TV have helped shape some of the hottest stars careers including Giggs, Section Boyz and more. Now it’s the Canadian’s turn to tap into his lyric book and spit some of his hardest bars for the fans. In his 2 and a bit minute video, Drizzy lays down two verses each with their own fire and venom, with some possible shots at other rappers thrown in there. Just like other Behind Barz videos, the lyricism is the main focus, and the word play and flow are completely on point. Peep the video for yourself above, and tell us what YOU think of Octobers Very Own and his Behind Barz freestyle.
