Drake, Leak, Need Me, Sound 42
Drake falls victim to another leak, this time with a track titled "Sound 42" or, as fans call it, "Need Me."

Fans are steadily waiting for Drake to drop his highly-anticipated next album, but in the meantime, more leaks from the multihyphenated entertainer continue. Drake whet the appetite of fans by sharing his recently released Dark Lane Demo Tapes, but even that project came after the Toronto icon fell victim to a number of leaks over the past year. Then, last week, a 2012-2013 era track titled "Stay Down" appeared online. The song was an unreleased collaboration from Drake and Busta Rhymes, and after leak, a discussion between Bussa-Buss and Swizz Beatz resulted in the whole "p*ssy boy" fiasco.

It seems as if there's another Drake leak on deck, this time it's a song that was uploaded as "Sound 42" while fans have reportedly stated that its true name is "Need Me." On the track, Drake says, "Pouring out my soul and it might sound crazy / Lots of falling outs helped me build foundation / Never had a lot this is all I need / People never care 'til it's R.I.P." It's unclear when the track was recorded.

The song is a mellow vibe where Drake delivers his signature rap-singing style. Of course, due to copyright concerns, we can't post the leak here, but it isn't a difficult one to find—that is if it's still up by the time you get to it.
