SOUND’s Take on “Hot Up Town/UUGLY: Did the Beef Ruin Drake’s Summer Vibes?

In this Club Ambition clip, SOUND reacts to the new collaboration between Drake and Camila Cabello titled “Hot UpTown/UUUGLY.” SOUND begins by noting that it’s been a while since Drake released a summer anthem, expressing his excitement for the new track.

He provides some background, explaining that the song might be an older record, and that Camila Cabello reworked the outro into her own separate piece, “UUUGLY.”

After listening to the song, SOUND shares his thoughts. He finds “Hot UpTown” to be a decent track but not particularly memorable and underwhelming. In contrast, he considers “UUUGLY” the highlight of the release.

SOUND is surprised that “Hot Up Town” isn’t more popular, especially with Drake’s involvement. He feels let down that Drake’s summer vibe releases aren’t quite living up to the hype of scorching summer anthems, tagging them as ‘spring vibes’ instead. He speculates that Drake might be holding back his best summer hits for later in the season.

SOUND concludes by rating “Hot UpTown” a 6.5 out of 10 and “UUUGLY” a 7 out of 10. He remarks on the difficulty of being a Drake fan currently, as everything is compared to his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
