He premiered All Me on Soundcloud and had it available for download originally, then his label took the download down and put it on iTunes.
He premiered The Motion on Soundcloud with a download, then his label took the download down later, and also put it on the Deluxe of Nothing Was the Same.
He premiered 0 to 100 on Soundcloud, not to mention Trophies. He premiered these 4 tracks on Apple Connect, then as usual, his label uploaded them to iTunes to get money.
Him uploading random songs for free, then his label trying to get money out of them has always been a thing. The tracks being put on iTunes has nothing to do with him deciding.
Isn't he trying to get out of a contract with Cash Money, that record label that's going bankrupt from ****ing its artists over? That would explain this pattern of behavior from Drake's label of pulling songs from free services and putting them on download sites instead. They're desperate for dollars. I think it was Apple they sued within the last week for $50 million, but I'm not sure if it was Drake or another artist.
