"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

The song features a house-oriented sound reminiscent of Drake's album Honestly, Nevermind. 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 Drake raps on the second portion of the song. The beat builds up and eventually switches, after which it incorporates rhythms described as Afrobeats, amapiano, gqom and EDM.

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Armon Sadler of Billboard ranked it as the third best song on Maid of Honour. 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."
