Drake and Qendresa Lean Into Melodies on “Slap The City”

Drake taps into his R&B side on “Slap The City,” a standout track from his album HABIBTI that also features rising London singer Qendresa.

The song trades heavy rap energy for smooth melodies and atmospheric production, giving Drake room to focus on emotional vocals and laid back songwriting. Qendresa adds another layer with soft, soulful harmonies that blend naturally with the mood of the track. While HABIBTI may divide fans looking for straight rap records, “Slap The City” shows how effective Drake can still be in his melodic lane.
