In its first week, it’s available to stream on Apple Music and buy on iTunes, but not available anywhere else – including physical stores. And that’s just one of the many deeply lovely tracks here that further dismantles whatever barrier was left between rap and R&B following Drake’s earlier albums. He also performed “One Dance”, “Summer Sixteen” and “Energy”.

The album has been highly anticipated after the bloated, but hot, solo mixtape, “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late”, and his joint effort with trap mumbler Future, “What A Time To Be Alive”.
And before you argue with me, remember Drake’s single off the album, “Pop Style” literally says “Got so many chains / they call me Chaining Tatum”. One can check out the songs below.
The 29-year-old rapper’s last album, ‘Nothing Was The Same, ‘ sold 658,000 copies in the USA in its first seven days of availability. We’ve already seen the far-reaching influence Beyonce’s album has had, drawing comments from Monica Lewinsky to a slew of high profile entertainers, and Drake’s Views is experiencing similar engagement, namely from National Basketball Association reporters. It sold 658,000 copies in seven days.
It’s not the first time Drake has appeared on behalf of the RSU, with the rapper also performing back in September alongside controversial Toronto MC Norm Kelly.
Drake leads the world right now as the most popping act that currently traverses the world like a sonic colossus.
Drake invited a few top names to collaborate with him: Rihanna – who previously paired with the rapper on “What’s My Name?” and “Work” – sings on “Too Good” and Kanye West produced “U With Me?”. The singer posted a screen grab of the conversation on Facebook.
Instead we get the same old corny one liners (“On some DMX shit, I DM all my X’s”) that only Drake could get away with.
