Drake is today's topic. A Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter.


Hello! I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the Cat Bear. Today I'm going to talk about Drake. An influential figure and contemporary popular music, Drake has been credited for popularizing singing and R&B sensibilities in hip-hop.

Drake's first three albums, Thank Me Later (2010), Take Care (2011) and Nothing Was the Same (2013), were all critical successes and propelled him to the forefront of hip hop. His fourth album, Views (2016), saw exploration of dancehall and stood atop the Billboard 200 for 13 non-consecutive weeks, making it the first album by a male artist to do so in over a decade, and featured the international hit singles "Hotline Bling" and "One Dance", which has been credited with popularizing Afrobeats worldwide. In 2018, Drake released the double album Scorpion, which contained the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "God's Plan", "Nice for What", and "In My Feelings". Drake's widely anticipated sixth album, Certified Lover Boy (2021), achieved nine top 10 hits on the Hot 100.

Does Drake have a new album for 2023? It has been said according to the news that Drake’s next album has a release date. Drake took to Instagram late Wednesday, September 6 to reveal that For All The Dogs will arrive on September 22. So look out for Drake's new album titled For All The Dogs.
