Drake displays a mixture of musical styles in the three new albums – with Iceman being more rap and hip-hop focused.

    Habibti leans more towards R&B, while Maid of Honour is dance music-inspired.

    And reviews of the rapper’s latest offerings have been mixed.

    The Independent says Drake “continues to be his own worst enemy”, external, with some of his best work “obscured by the bad”.

    But Rolling Stone was more positive, saying parts of his new material , externalare “confident” and “joyous”.

    He also appears to reignite his bitter feud with Kendrick Lamar, something which music journalist Mary Mandefield says is no surprise.

    Speaking to BBC Newsbeat last week, she described Drake as a “smart businessman, as well as a great musician”.

    “It would have been a massive miss to have three albums and not to mention Kendrick at all,” she said.

    Not as much luck for Drake in the official singles chart though, as Olivia Dean and Sam Fender’s Rein My In stays at number one for a 12th week.

    He does have three songs in the top 10 though – Janice STFU, National Treasure and Make Them Cry – taking his career tally to 50.
