THE Canadian rapper and singer proved he's truly unstoppable by announcing the release of his new EP, Scary Hours 3.
Just weeks after dropping his latest album, For All the Dogs, Drake posted a moody video trailer promoting the third installment of his Scary Hours series on his Instagram.
What songs are on Drake's Scary Hours EPs?
According to Genius, Scary Hours 3 will have two new tracks from the infamous rapper, including Skies Parted (Got My Own Coming) and Be In There (Ton of Em).
A snippet of lyrics from Skies Parted (Got My Own Coming) read:
"And the skies parted and I saw an openin'
Tried doing drugs, that ain't work, I was focusin'"
Be In There (Ton of Em) also reportedly features the lyrics:

"I should probably be in there with
Thug and 'nem"
The lyrics seemingly reference how members of Young Stoner Life, a record label in Atlanta, Georgia, run by Young Thug, were arrested and indicted on 56 counts of suspected gang-related crimes and alleged violations of Georgia's RICO Act.
Drake's lyrics may refer to the rapper's belief that he should be in the same position as his longtime friend and collaborator, Young Thug, due to the fact that he is associated with people involved in criminal activity.
Following the success of his 2016 album Views and 2017 mixtape More Life, Drake surprised fans back in 2018 with the release of Scary Hours, his second extended play.
