Drake’s career shows no signs of slowing down, so it’s just a matter of time before he breaks more records. Ahead of him are Rihanna and Mariah Carey, with The Beatles ruling dominantly at the top with 20 number-one singles. But on this journey of his, he gave massive shoutouts to some fellow rappers and Phoenix Suns star, Kevin Durant.

The addition of NBA superstar Kevin Durant in the album credits adds to the mystery surrounding “For All The Dogs”. He credits Durant as “A&R” on the record, demonstrating a rare combination of abilities from the athletics and music worlds. This star-studded album also includes collaborations with notable musicians, including 21 Savage, J. Cole, SZA, and Bad Bunny, among others.

Drake shared, “I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be honest, I might. I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won’t make music for a little bit.” During this little hiatus from music, Drake hinted at an exciting collaboration with fellow rap legend J. Cole. The two heavyweights intend to release new songs before Drake’s recording hiatus takes effect. While the title and release date of this collaboration are unknown, the sheer notion of these two rap titans working together is enough to send shivers through the music industry.
