Drake is one of those musicians who has always been generous with his music to his fans. So when Drake’s album fell, you’ll hear his music somewhere. The multi-talented star launched his award-winning album ‘Views’ five years ago and produced hit after hit. He received praise for the project from all over the industry. The RIAA awarded ‘Views’ a 6x platinum certification. It included 19 songs, as well as the GRAMMY-winning bonus track “Hotline Bling.” According to Billboard, it is the first album to ever cross one billion streams on Apple Music. Every single song on the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The following are some of the hit songs featured on ‘Views’: “Controlla,” “Feel No Ways,” “One Dance,” “Pop Style,” “Fire & Desire,” “Redemption,” “Too Good,” and “Faithful.” Despite the songs’ popularity, Drake did not release many visuals to go along with ‘Views.’ He did, however, debut a music video for “Hotline Bling,” which was so well received that it spawned a few viral memes. You’ve seen the meme if you’ve seen Drake perform a “dust my shoes off” dance in front of shiny, colorful lights. The music video was directed by Director X and produced by Evan Landry. The video had over 1.7 billion views on YouTube by Saturday. The Canadian artist released a 23-minute video to support ‘Views’ visual hand. According to The Los Angeles Times, the action-thriller “Please Forgive Me” has been made available exclusively on Apple Music. Songs from the album ‘Views’ are featured in the project, which was shot in South Africa. Let’s just say Drake’s character and his pretend girlfriend ended their relationship with a bang! As summer approaches, many are looking for another solid project from the mega-star. Rick Ross recently interviewed with Miasia Symone of Atlanta’s Streetz 94.5 FM. He revealed that a joint album between him and Drake is being considered.“After our latest release. … ‘Lemon Pepper Freestyle.’ We had that conversation and it’s most definitely under serious consideration.”
