On the album, Drake confirms the relationship with Brussaux as well the birth of his son Adonis. However, on June 28th, Drake released his album Scorpion. During his opening monologue, the Canadian rapper performed a tongue-in-cheek song titled "More Than a Meme" to address his long-running internet memedom, which highlighted a variety of image macro memes and photoshopped parodies based on his album covers and music videos (shown below).Īfter being accused of having a son with adult film star Sophie Brussaux, Drake would neither confirm nor deny having a child.

Are you? Head over to PND’s Soundcloud to get familiar.Drake is the stage name used by Canadian actor and recording artist Aubrey Drake Graham, best known for his role as Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation and post-acting career as a recording artist. So be warned: it’s about to get all kinds of weird with the OVO crew. There’s plenty more in store from the OVO team, especially with Drake’s long-awaited Views From The 6 slated to make its decent in just a few weeks time. If you’re looking to catch your boy live-and-direct, you can catch him at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD on May 14th. Stream PARTYNEXTDOOR’s latest collaborative drop with the labelhead down below. And while we don’t know whether this track will end of on PND’s forthcoming sophomore album P3, this should certainly hold you over until the album truly begins to take form. Today, it gets yet another nod with the release of “Come And See Me” a slick and slippery sonic treat for purveyors of moody (and slightly melancholic) r&b music, which OVO has championed since damn-near Day-1. The creative connection between OVO’s PARTYNEXTDOOR and label chief, Drake, has been well documented over the years, most recently on Rihanna’s smash “Work,” the reference track for which came from the young OVO songwriter and producer.
