Weston Road Flows

“Weston Road Flows” is a throwback to Drake’s past. As a child, Drake grew up on Weston Road in Toronto. The area which Weston runs from (Keele Street and St. Clair Avenue up to York Region) is known for being a neighbourhood with little money, before moving to Forest Hill using acting money to support his mother, who was often ill and unable to work. In “You & The 6,” Drake mentioned Weston Road: Do you remember back to Weston Road, Scarlett Road? Drake samples a classic Mary J. Blige hit, “Mary’s Joint.” If you know Drake then you know the OVO Sound chief has a love for ‘90s R&B, so it should come as no surprise that Drizzy rehashed a record from Mary J. Blige’s classic 1994 album My Life. This isn’t the first time Drake and the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul hooked up. In 2009, Aubrey guested on Mary’s “The One” from her Stronger With Each Tear LP, and then the next year they performed “Fancy” together at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. https://youtu.be/5p4IwU_X9k4
