Drake's latest is an irresistible sleaze-rap about the rapper’s obsession with, well, tattooing his name on a young lady’s body. The beat is appropriately moody and louche. (Dig that sax sample!) As for Rick Ross, his peccadilloes are even kinkier than Drake's: "I fondle the money, fornicate with a fortune."
