Drake Announces New Album With PartyNextDoor, Live-Debuts ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ in Toronto


Drake surprised a Toronto crowd by playing a set and announcing that he's working on a new collaborative album with his OVO labelmate PartyNextDoor.

At a time when Kendrick Lamar’s ubiquitous diss track “Not Like Us” is contending for the song of the summer and even longtime friends are throwing their support behind it, it makes sense for Drake to do something special for the fans who’ve stood by him the most. When Drake jumped on Snowd4y’s viral patois-laden cover of Plain White T’s emo-pop ballad “Hey There Delilah,” it was so divisive and strange that many people couldn’t figure out if it was really him or an AI deepfake. Drake went back into his discography for “Practice” from Take Care and “Connect” from Nothing Was the Same, then got newer with “Finesse,” “Pipe Down” and “Redemption” — lower-key favorites from albums like Scorpion, Views and Certified Lover Boy.
