Hoe Phase
'Hoe Phase' opens MAID OF HONOUR as track 1 and sets the album's playful, hook-forward, relationship-centered tone within Drake's May 15, 2026 same-day triple release. As the opener it functions as the entry point into the project's lighter OVO R&B / pop-rap lane rather than the rap-and-grudges weight carried by companion album ICEMAN. No featured guest or production credit is listed in available metadata.
