Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy has finally arrived on all streaming platforms, after its initial announcement over a year ago.
The tracklist consists of 21 songs featuring appearances from artists including Giveon, Travis Scott, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, and Kid Cudi.
In addition to the already listed features, the first track “Champagne Poetry” samples the Beatles’ “Michelle” and credits John Lennon and Paul McCartney as co-writers.
The second track offers a vocal cameo by Nicki Minaj, while the third track “Love All” opens with a sample from Notorious BIG’s “Life After Death Intro” and features verses by Jay-Z.
Many tongues have been wagging about the name of R. Kelly on the credit list who is being charged with sexual assault on minors.
