SFPL Music: Drake Readies The World For Views from the Six Drops “Pop Style” and “One Dance”, Teases with a huge lite mural in London

Though we don’t have an official release date yet, Drake‘s Views from the Six is slated to drop sometime this month. It looks like we could be getting Drizzy’s fourth studio album sooner rather than later as the 6 God dropped two new tracks “Pop Style” featuring The Throne and “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla. In case you’re wondering who The Throne is, it’s Jay Z and Kanye West of course.

“Pop Style” features dark production and brings us solid verses from Drake and Kanye with some notable bars from Hov. “One Dance” on the other hand is totally different, as Drake continues his flirtation with the dancehall and afrobeat genres. You can listen to both of these tracks over at Stereogum. “Pop Style” and “One Dance” are available on Apple Music/iTunes

Pop-Style-compressed one dance

It’s starting to look more certain that fans will be getting Views from the Six within the next week or so. Earlier today a projection image appeared in London’s Covent Garden, displaying a hand forming the shape of a 6 with an eye in the middle. The projection appeared on the side of the Royal Opera House. While many at first began to speculate that the image was the album artwork for Drake’s forthcoming album, a U.K. rep for Island Records confirmed the art is just to tease the release of the new album.

While Drake’s love for London is widely known, it seems strange for him to tease the album there when it’s named after Toronto. Clearly Drake is up to something. So keep your eyes, and ears open as Drizzy continues to toy with us as we all wait for one of the most anticipated albums of 2016.

In More Drake News: OVO Air Jordan 10 Makes Its Debut

1 Comment on In More Drake News: OVO Air Jordan 10 Makes Its Debut

It’s safe to say that Drake is definitely having the best week ever.

With all the beef mayhem between Drizzy and Meek Mill, social media has already taken the Canadian rapper’s side, and have been crushing Meek’s dreams with a plethora of memes and harsh critiques. Not to mention, Mill may be getting sued by WWE for his first and probably last sampled diss track towards the OVO leader.

With Caribana (#TOCarnival) and the OVO Fest going on right now in Toronto, Canada, Drake said: why not debut my new shoe collaboration with Jordan Brand; the OVO Air Jordan 10. Yes, he has a new sneaker on the way.

The deal was announced back in 2010 and is now making it’s official purchase appearance in stores on Sept. 12th for $255.

The 6th Annual, 3-day OVO Fest kicks off tonight with Kevin Hart and continues tomorrow with J. Cole, Big Sean, and YG. It ends on Monday, as Drake plans on bringing out more surprise guests.

We guess Meek’s timing was not good after all.
