Background
On March 14, 2018, Lauryn Hill's son Joshua Omaru Marley posted a snippet of the song on Snapchat.[5] Drake later confirmed an upcoming Murda Beatz-produced single during an Instagram Live session.[6] On April 5, Drake made a surprise appearance during a Majid Jordan concert in Toronto.[7][8][9] "The reason I'm here tonight is because I'm back in the city finishing my album," he told the audience. "I've got a new single dropping tomorrow night, too, just in case you got some free time."[10][11][12][13]
Composition
"Nice for What" is an upbeat bounce song which contains elements of early 2000s R&B,[14][15][16] with a length of three minutes thirty seconds.[17] It samples Lauryn Hill's song "Ex-Factor" (1998), "Drag Rap" by the Showboys (1986), "Get Your Roll On" by Big Tymers (2000), and also features clips from performances by Big Freedia.[18][19][20] Lyrically, the hook of Drake's song samples Lauryn Hill singing about "cutting loose in the midst of a relationship".[21]
"Nice for What" received positive reviews from music critics, with many praising its promotion of female empowerment.[29][30] Hugh McIntyre of Forbes regarded the "perfectly-pitched" song as "another perfect delivery from the biggest artist in hip-hop", writing that the "vocal sample helps the track stand out from much of the rest of his discography".[22] Kevin Lozano of Pitchfork awarded the song "Best New Track", praising Drake for "smoothly handling the impeccable production from Murda Beatz", and lauding the song as "a fantastic piece of hip-hop machinery" and "one of Drake's most complete releases in some time".[31]
Chris DeVille of Stereogum deemed the song "a big, brash, almost obnoxiously loud New Orleans bounce-inspired production", describing it as "extremely poppy and sounds like a bid for continued commercial dominance".[32]
Billboard named "Nice for What" the fifth-best song of 2018.[33]Rolling Stone also named "Nice for What" the fifth-best song of 2018,[34] and ranked it 54th on their list of the '100 Best Songs of the 2010s'.[35]
In 2021, The Guardian ranked it number-one on their list of 'Drake's 30 Greatest songs'.[4]Billboard staff placed it at number one on their 2024 list ranking all 321 Drake songs that reached the Hot 100 at the time.[36]
