The rapper has been teasing his fans with dog-themed posts and hints about his upcoming project.
Drake, the Canadian rap superstar, is reportedly ready to release his eighth solo studio album, ‘For All The Dogs’, as soon as this Friday, August 25. The album’s title and cover art, which features a drawing of a dog by his son Adonis, were revealed in June on a website that also promoted his first poetry book, ‘Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness’.
Drake’s love for dogs
Drake has been showing his love for dogs on his social media accounts, frequently posting pictures of various breeds and dog-related items. He has also been spotted wearing different dog masks in public, such as a bulldog mask that he wore in New York City last month.
The rapper has previously expressed his fondness for dogs in his songs, such as ‘God’s Plan’, where he rapped: “I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry / And you know me / Turn the O2 into the O3, dog”. He also named one of his albums ‘Scorpion’, after his astrological sign.
Drake’s collaborators and release date
Drake has not revealed much about the content or the features of his new album, but he has confirmed that it will include a collaboration with Nicki Minaj, his longtime friend and labelmate. The two recently reunited on Instagram Live, where they teased their fans with hints about their upcoming music.
Drake also hinted at a possible release date for his album during a concert in New York in January, where he said: “I will be back soon. I have an album dropping for you in, like, two weeks or some s**t. But until then, just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you. Everything I do is for you. Every time I step in that booth, I hope I make you proud.”
Some fans have speculated that the album will drop on Friday, August 25, which coincides with International Dog Day. However, Drake has not confirmed or denied this rumor.
