Drake has announced that he’s dropping his sixth album Certified Lover Boy this summer, the highly-anticipated follow-up to his chart-topping album ‘Scorpion’.
The OVO rapper has already began dropping clues that fans can expect new music in the near future, following the success of his recent string of singles including ‘Toosie Slide’, ‘Life Is Good’ and ‘Going Bad’.
Drizzy even treated fans to a quarantine gift in May 2020 when he released his mixtape ‘Dark Lane Demo Tapes’, made up of 14 songs, and featuring guest appearances from Chris Brown Young Thug and Playboi Carti.
Drake’s new album will also be his sixth, which is a special number for the Canadian rapper from Toronto.
Drake has announced that the title of his sixth album is Certified Lover Boy. When announcing the release of the album’s lead single, ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’, he dropped the name of the new record.
“Laugh Now Cry Later off my next studio album CERTIFIED LOVER BOY,” he captioned the post.
Drizzy’s previous albums were called Thank Me Later, Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, Views and Scorpion.
Drake dropped ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’ featuring Lil Durk, the lead single from Certified Lover Boy, on August 14th.
The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, plays centre stage to a whole lot of Nike product placement and features athletes including Kevin Durant, Marshawn Lynch and Odell Beckham Jr.
The day before, Drake released a teaser video of himself riding a jet-ski at night with the caption ‘TMRW MIDNIGHT’, leaving fans convinced the new song was set to drop.
In August 2020, an unreleased song by Drake titled ‘Intoxicated’ leaked online.
It’s unclear as to when the track was recorded and indeed which project it was intended for, but the leak has done nothing but build anticipation for his upcoming album.
The track comes after the release of Drake’s teaser project Dark Lane Demo Tapes, a compilation mixtape full of leaked tracks and Soundcloud drops from the Canadian rapper.
