Jungle

'Jungle' is one of the most beloved deep cuts on If You're Reading This It's Too Late, a moody, soulful record that trades the tape's aggression for introspection. Over Vinylz production, the song is widely read as a meditation on a complicated relationship and the loneliness that fame and constant movement create, the 'jungle' standing in for an environment that is both thrilling and predatory. Its slowed, hazy texture and conversational delivery made it a fan favorite and a frequent live and visual centerpiece for Drake during this era. The track captures the mixtape's emotional core, the friction between connection and the isolating machinery of success, and is often singled out as one of its high points.
