Drake is continuing his massive ‘100 Gigs’ content drop by adding “Circadian Rhythm” and “No Face,” two of a trio of new tracks he debuted earlier this month, to streaming services.
That three-pack, which also included “SOD,” was the second trio of new songs the superstar has released since putting his massive new ‘100 Gigs’ website online.
The first batch, which went live at the beginning of August, included “It’s Up” with Young Thug and 21 Savage; “Blue Green Red” and the Latto collaboration “Housekeeping Knows.” All three of those were released to streaming services just days after they surfaced.
In contrast, so far “SOD” is missing from DSPs. Check “Circadian Rhythm” and “No Face” out below. The streaming version of “No Face” does not, unlike the original ‘100 Gigs’ version, feature an appearance from Playboi Carti.
Out of the second batch of ‘100 Gigs’ material, “No Face” quickly generated the most chatter among fans thanks to some choice words from Drake seemingly aimed at Kendrick Lamar and the other rappers he sparred with in April and May.
“N-ggas got lit off the features I skated on / I gotta know, I gotta know / How you get lit off the n-gga you hatin’ on? / Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong,” he raps, appearing to reference his guest verses for the likes of A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd and Future while casting doubt on Kendrick eclipsing many of his streaming records with “Not Like Us”.
“This is the moment I know they been prayin’ on / What? Aye, what? Aye / Try knock The Boy off, but fuck it, I’m stayin’ on / O’ keep on sendin’ me slaps to go crazy on / 40 keep sayin’ it’s time to be patient / It’s so many people we turnin’ the tables on.”
Drizzy continues in his second verse: “My therapist put in a 30-day notice / ‘Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women / It’s no diagnosis, they emptied the clip,” clearly adopting Kendrick Lamar’s cadence with the last line.

He then warns his opps: “Quick, swap that shit out, and I came back reloaded / I’m just so happy that n-ggas who envied and held that shit in got to finally show it / I’m over the moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon / I’m spreadin’ my wings, I hop out cocoon / I’m studio trappin’, I’m locked in the room, what?”
“Circadian Rhythm,” meanwhile, continues the Kendrick taunts as its title seemingly references a line from the Compton rapper’s “6:16 in LA” diss song where he rapped: “I know this type of power is gon’ cost / But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star.”
Drake also dubbed the song “The Language 2,” implying it’s a sequel to his 2013 Nothing Was the Same cut on which he subliminally responded to Kendrick’s earth-shaking “Control” verse.
