After stimulating the economy in Miami for a good week, Drake has released his highly anticipated Karena Evans directed music video for ‘God’s Plan’.
Starting off the short film by revealing its $996,631.90 budget, Drake spends his entire time in the video turning up with locals and changing lives, through donations to the City of Miami Fire Department, University of Miami students, deserving families, a homeless shelter for women and children and many more.
Drake is really out here doing God’s work, and paying it forward anyway possible.
Watch Drake’s official music video for ‘God’s Plan’ below.
Drake’s OVO Fest blew fans away for another year in Toronto, this time with Drizzy literally bringing his city to the stage, by creating an amazing replica of Toronto’s CN Tower, which became a meme after the artwork for Drake’s Views album was released.
But in addition to the hours of great music and production, another highlight of the evening included a very unexpected surprise performance. For a very special performance of Drake’s track ‘Controlla’, rapper Tory Lanez joined Drake for an epic live remix. While the two have famously had bad blood in the past, it appears that all is well in the 6.
Check out some fan footage of the performance below.
For its 8th straight year, Drake’s annual OVO Fest is returning to his hometown of Toronto. Taking place on August 7th at the Budweiser Stage, the OVO Fest will see some memorable performances from the label’s PartyNextDoor, DVSN, Majid Jordan, Roy Woods and of course Drizzy himself.
And if history has taught us anything about the OVOFest, you can expect some amazing surprises and a great night of music. Tickets for the festival go on sale, at LiveNation.com, today!
Peep the lineup poster for the 8th annual OVO Fest below.
Drake premiered another new track on an episode of his OVO Sound Radio show on Apple Music last night. This time, Drizzy remixed his OVO artist, and frequent collaborator, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Freak In Time”, from his Colours 2 project.
The show’s curator, Oliver El-Khatib, also premiered producer Metro Boomin’s new Drake collab, ‘No Complaints’, which also features the Migos’ Offset (listen here via Tidal).
Debuting at Louis Vuitton’s runway show for their new Spring/Summer 2018 collection, Drake has shared his new track, ‘Signs’, hours ago.
Originally announced by LV’s style director, Kim Jones, the new track is easily the musical highlight of Paris Fashion Week. No word, whether ‘Signs’ will end up on a forthcoming Drake project, or if it’s a song made only for Fashion Week. Sorry Kanye, but Drizzy may be the “Louis Vuitton Don” now.
Listen to Drake’s new song ‘Signs’ below, Drake’s vocals jump in near the 4-minute mark.
After teasing the collaboration for fans, DJ Khaled released his new Drake-assisted track, ‘To the Max’. With adorable cover art starring Khaled’s newborn son Asahd, ‘To the Max’ is set to be another hit single for the summer, even if not to the same degree of Khaled’s ‘I’m The One’, which is dominating on the radio right now.
DJ Khaled has also announced a June 23rd release for his forthcoming project, Grafeful. So far Grafteful has delivered features from Drake, Chance The Rapper, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and more, so we can only imagine what the rest of the project will have to offer.
With an A-list cast of features from Kanye West, Travis Scott, Quavo, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Sampha and more, Drake’s collaborative playlist album, More Life, has finally dropped after much anticipation.
More Life features stand out tracks like ‘Glow’, where Kanye West and Drake team up (and potentially squash any beef between the two), Drake’s viral flute-led track ‘Portland’ with the Migos’ Quavo and GOOD Music’s Travis Scott, and ‘Sacrifices’ and ‘Ice Melts’ which both feature none other than Young Thug himself. Top to bottom though, More Life is filled with bangers and great collaborations.
While More Life isn’t a conventional studio album from the OVO rapper, Drake’s playlist likely reigns supreme over your favorite rapper’s best album. Expect the new project to be a huge soundtrack of the summer.
Drake fans abroad are eating right now, as Drake brought his “Boy Meets World” tour to Europe. And during a recent tour stop in Amsterdam, Drake treated fans by previewing a brand new track. Possibly off his forthcoming project, More Life, which will be a playlist collaboration with Apple, we already can’t wait for the studio version of the record.
And if you’re in Europe, do yourself a favor and check out Drake’s new tour. An especially unique stage design, with a large glowing globe in the middle of the arena, the Boy Meets World tour is like nothing else.
Less than a month removed from 2016, we have compiled our list of our favorite concert tours from the past year, before we drop our list of our “Most Anticipated Tours of 2017”. And from huge grossing tours like Beyonce’s Formation Tour, Drake & Future’s record breaking Summer Sixteen Tour and of course Kanye’s Saint Pablo Tour, to some of the more (but equally entertaining) B-side tours, 2016 was a great year for live music.

Everyone seems to be taking sides ever since the release of Drake’s new record ‘Two Birds One Stone’, where the 6 God takes shots at Kid Cudi, among others. And while Cudi is still in rehab for his depression, we finally have a response from his team as his manager, Dennis Cummings, has responded.
“Drake corny as fuck,” Cummings said via his Twitter. Cudi’s manager also added, “How Aubrey (Drake) and his writers take a shot with the same hands they used to beg for a feature???”
While Cudi and Drake both have made some incredible music, everyone seems to think that one or the other is in the wrong, and Drake has faced a lot of criticism for dissing Cudi since. On ‘Two Birds One Stone’, Drake raps, “you were the man on the moon, now you just go through your phases,” is one particular lyric that Cudi fans took issue with, for potentially making light of depression and metal illness.
Although many think that Drake shouldn’t have brought up Cudi’s mental illness issues, many still side with Drake since Kid Cudi started the beef by calling out Drake and Kanye West on Twitter. Cudi went on a Twitter rant last month saying, “everyone thinks they’re soooo great. Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them”, then specifically calling out Drake and Kanye. Should being depressed give a rapper a free pass to call out whoever they want?
We definitely hope Kid Cudi gets better soon, but lets hope Kanye, Cudi and Drake can all get along in the near future. Check out Cudi’s manager’s response below!
