Drake even spoke candidly about working on the album with Future and shared some high praised for the rapper work ethics.
“I went to Atlanta for six days a couple weeks ago with the hopes of doing some songs with Future, and when you get around Future, it’s like a vortex, that guy can outwork anybody right now,” Drizzy said. “It’s tough to see someone do four, five songs in one night and not try to match it.”
Among the production credits includes Boi-1da, Noah “40” Shebib, Southside, with Drizzy crediting Metro Boomin for doing the bulk of the producing work.
On Saturday the Toronto rapper posted a photo of the diamond encrusted artwork on his Instagram page stating that the project will be available on Sunday at 8pm EST.
