Make Things Right
Featuring Slakah the Beatchild
Track 11 on Drake's 2006 debut mixtape Room for Improvement, produced by Boi-1da and Amir, and — per Wikipedia's notebook-adapted notes — featuring vocals from Slakah the Beatchild that were uncredited on the original release and surfaced on later listings. It is one of the tape's melodic, relationship-leaning cuts from Drake's pre-fame Toronto period, sitting alongside 'Special' and 'All This Love' in the project's R&B-rap register. It is catalogued as a verified early deep cut; given how little has been written about it, no lyric-level interpretation is asserted and the credits should be read as high-confidence rather than definitive.
