Drake Plans to Re-Release "So Far Gone" Mixtape Officially

“I did this song that no one has ever heard before, ever,” he explained. “[It's] a song called ‘Fear.’ I recorded it when I did So Far Gone — the first verse and half of the second verse I had gotten through. But then I just stopped because it was getting eerie. It was getting where I didn’t know if I could [finish it]. And then the other night I had a moment and I finished the song. That’s gonna be the last song on the retail [version of] So Far Gone. And the third verse transitions into Thank Me Later. So the last line of the third verse is gonna be the first line on my album.”

So Far Gone will go to retail on September 15th and it will include the most popular tracks from the mixtape as well a new song called “Fear”. As you may remember, Drake was plagued by unofficial mixtapes on iTunes being sold without his consent. You can read more about it at MTV.
