100 Gigs is the fifth extended play by Canadian rapper Drake.[1] It was released on August 10, 2024, by OVO Sound and Republic Records. It features guest appearances from American rappers 21 Savage, Latto, and Young Thug.[2]
Background
On August 6, through a private Instagram page, Drake released 100 gigabytes of data, consisting of behind-the-scenes clips, tour rehearsals, and studio footage, including the three tracks on the EP on the Instagram page, alongside a website for its sole purpose.[3] [4] Upon the release of the tracks, 21 Savage's verse on "It's Up" was thought to contain disses towards Kendrick Lamar amidst the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud, however, the rumours were later denounced by Savage's manager.[5]
