“Dreams Money Can Buy” is the suspected first song to dribble onto the ’Net from Drake’s sophomore CD, Take Care, tentatively due this fall. An arrogant, introspective slow-burner, “Dreams” is not the banger single his new Juno fans might be anticipating; you won’t dance to this, and you won’t find a marquee cameo appearance.

Lyrically, your friend Drizzy picks up where Thank Me Later left off: the superstar with stacks of international currencies in the bank half-relishing and half-lamenting a famed existence. Drake doesn’t know whether to dodge or run full-steam ahead into envious guys and wide-eyed girls he says he loves but really just likes. The man is forever “too f**kin’ busy, too busy f**kin’.” It’s a familiar theme, but one at which he excels.

The big winner here is the production of Drake’s go-to, Toronto’s Noah “40” Shebib, who needs to start getting his due. 40 loops up London electro artist Jai Paul’s pretty/nasty whisper refrain of “Don’t f**k with me, don’t f**k with me,” for a decidedly NSFW and NSFRadio hook that soothes you with its menace.

And Drake’s boasts “I’m the greatest my country’s ever seen” and “My favourite rappers either lost it or they ain’t alive” are sure to raise eyebrows.
