Here's what I have so far:

Rappin Drake (Duh Ha Duh Ha)
1. "Views" (prod. Maneesh) - It's the Jay-Z album intro song.
2. 10 Bands Added here
3. "9" (prod. 40, Boi-1da & Brian Alexander Morgan)
4. "Hype" (prod. Boi-1da, nineteen85 & Beat Bully)
5. Summer Sixteen added here
6. "Pop Style" (prod. Sevn Thomas & Frank Dukes) - Swapped it out for the one with 'The Throne'. It makes the pool comments funnier from Summer Sixteen.

Relationships Drake
7. "Weston Road Flows" (prod. 40)
8. "Childs Play" (prod. 40)
9. "U With Me?" (prod. 40 & Kanye West)
10. "Redemption" (prod. 40)

Dancehall Drake
11. "Hotline Bling" (prod. nineteen85)
12. "Controlla" f. Popcaan (prod. Boi-1da, Supa Dups & Allen Ritter)
13. "Too Good" f. Rihanna (prod. nineteen85)
14. "One Dance" f. Kyle & Wizkid (prod. nineteen85, 40 & WizKid)
15. "With You" f. PARTYNEXTDOOR (prod. Murda Beatz)

Promises to get it right Drake
16. "Faithful" f. Pimp C & dvsn (prod. 40, Boi-1da & nineteen85)
17. "Summers Over" (prod. Maneesh)
18. "Fire & Desire" (prod. 40)
19. "Feel No Ways" (prod. Jordan Ullman of Majiid Jordan)
20. "Keep the Family Close" (prod. Maneesh)
21. "Still Here" (prod. Daxz & 40)

'Bonus' Track
>>"Grammys" f. Future (prod. 40, Southside, Cardo & Yung
>>Exclusive)

With this version, you could reasonably stop after Summers Over and have a whole album with nothing that you'd dramatically 'miss'. I only feel kinda weird about where Faithful is.

Redemption --> Hotline Bling makes both songs better for me. And it sets up all of the dancehall songs to 'work' better than they do separated.
