"Hoe Phase" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake, released on May 15, 2026 as part of his studio album Maid of Honour. It includes a sample of "Give It All You've Got" by Afro-Rican.
Composition
[edit]The song features a house-oriented sound reminiscent of Drake's album Honestly, Nevermind.[1][2] It opens with a Miami bass sample of "Give It All You've Got", and also features a "moody" atmosphere that has been compared to his mixtape So Far Gone[3] Drake raps on the second portion of the song. The beat builds up and eventually switches,[1][2] after which it incorporates rhythms described as Afrobeats, amapiano, gqom and EDM.[2][3][4]
Critical reception
[edit]The song received generally positive reviews. Armon Sadler of Billboard ranked it as the third best song on Maid of Honour.[1] Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone praised it as "a dazzling display of how dance music, unlike traditional hip-hop, thrives on fluidity, breezing between sonic textures with the seamlessness of a DJ's transitions."[5]
