Drake Faces Criticism for Sampling Baltimore Artist Rye Rye on Latest Album

Drake’s latest album, For All The Dogs, has received widespread acclaim for its innovative sound and catchy tracks. However, amidst all the positive reviews, the Canadian rapper has also faced criticism from Baltimore artist Rye Rye.

Rye Rye took to social media to express her disappointment after discovering that her vocals had been sampled on Drake’s album without proper credit. She specifically pointed out the track “Calling For You,” which features a collaboration with 21 Savage.

In her social media posts, Rye Rye expressed a mix of emotions. On one hand, she felt flattered that Drake had chosen to sample her vocals, but on the other hand, she felt disrespected and taken advantage of. She wrote, “I WANNA BE FLATTERED SO BAD but now I feeel like this n-gga trolling @champagnepapi this shit crazy this millionaire used my sample for the 2nd time .. I really loved Drake as an artist but shit like this throw you off.”

Rye Rye also called out Drake for not giving credit to her and her collaborator, Blaqstarr. She emphasized the importance of recognizing and respecting the contributions of black women in the music industry. She stated, “Thank you But stop taking advantage of black women dawgggg.”

It is worth noting that the uncredited vocals from Rye Rye originally appeared on the deluxe edition of her 2012 album, Go! Pop! Bang! The fact that Drake used these vocals without proper acknowledgement has further fueled the controversy.

Despite the criticism, “Calling For You” remains a standout track on For All The Dogs. The song is produced by a talented group of beatsmiths, including Lil Yachty, Powertrav, Noah “40” Shebib, and Cash Cobain.

As the debate surrounding Drake’s sampling practices continues, it is important to recognize the importance of giving credit where it is due. Artists, especially those with significant platforms, should be mindful of the impact their actions have on smaller artists and communities.
