Blem
Blem — UK/Caribbean slang for being intoxicated — is produced by T-Minus with additional music by Frank Dukes, and per the liner notes interpolates Lionel Richie's 'All Night Long,' lending the mellow, dancehall-tinged track a familiar warmth. It is widely read as Drake speaking with loosened honesty about a relationship, admitting feelings he might otherwise guard. The patois-inflected delivery reflects More Life's heavy Caribbean and UK-slang coloring, and the song is often cited as a compact example of the project's blend of global vernacular and Drake's signature emotional transparency.
