Then, when it’s Carti’s turn, he doesn’t upstage Drake so much as demonstrate an extreme way to flourish in this world that Drake’s visiting, showing how his visceral and unorthodox sounds complement Pi’erre’s sci-fi soundscapes. He hypes Drake for the new song’s first half, guiding him through the uncharted waves. “Pain 1993” also showcases the two sides of Playboi Carti: He was once a living punctuation mark, accenting the songs of superstars like Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky with his yips and yuhs, before breaking out as a hyphenate solo star, someone who can baby-voice, rap, and command a track all on his own. In Pi’erre’s hands, Drake can rap fewer words and he doesn’t need to stir intrigue with TMZ bars. And there’s plenty of room for Drake to operate without sounding like he’s a carpetbagger in the land of youth and zeitgeist. Even without the unauthorized previews, there’s a recognizable comfort to the pristine and serene “Pain 1993.” Carti’s go-to producer Pi’erre Bourne offers a beat that glimmers like sheet metal. Because the track features Playboi Carti, it’s been leaked and anticipated like few other entries on the project, available in low-grade snippets for months. And now there‘s “Pain 1993,” the standout track on Drake’s first full-length project of 2020, Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
