Drake reposted a review on his Instagram Story that gave the album 11/10 and declared it a “masterpiece,” while ranking the 14 tracks in order of greatness. The top 5 included “Reach the Sunshine,” “I’ve Officially Lost Vision!!!!,” “The Black Seminole,” “The Alchemist,” and “We Saw the Sun!”

Drake and Yachty’s friendship has been well documented. In honor of his 25th birthday in August, Yachty debuted a tattoo featuring Drake’s signature OVO owl mascot.
Drake also celebrated his bond with his “Oprah’s Bank Account” collaborator. “More life to my brother @lilyachty so happy we are locked in for this lifetime,” he wrote.
Let’s Start Here has been earning acclaim from fans and critics alike including Rolling Stone, which called it “as cohesive a project as any artist has released in the streaming era.”
Yachty said the album marks a reset for his career. “I’ve changed my dynamic. This album and on, I’m creating music a whole lot differently,” he told Ice Box.
