The 23-track album features powerhouse appearances from Bad Bunny, Chief Keef, J. Cole (“First Person Shooter”), Lil Yachty, and more. Listeners will also hear hidden features from George Clinton, Sade, and Drake’s son, Adonis.

Drake expressed overall gratitude for all the love he’s received from both fans and industry partners on an episode of his Table For One SiriusXM radio show, following the eighth studio album debut. He said, “We’re here, and I’m very, very proud, I’m very, very grateful that any of you are still interested in even listening to what The Boy’s gotta say…I do think that you’re really gonna enjoy this. I think I did my f****ing  job if I do say so myself.”

Being well into his career, Drake also announced that he will be taking a step back from the music for a well-needed health break. 

He said on Table For One, “I probably won’t make music for a while…I don’t even know what ‘a little bit’ is. Maybe a year or something, maybe a little longer.” “I need to focus on my health first and foremost…I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. I need to get right.”

Over the past decade, Drake has solidified his status as one of the most influential figures in the music industry and beyond. As an artist, he released several critically acclaimed albums, including “Take Care,” “Nothing Was the Same,” and “Scorpion,” each of which topped the charts and received numerous awards. His ability to seamlessly blend hip-hop, R&B, and pop elements in his music has earned him a massive global fan base. Additionally, Drake ventured into entrepreneurship, launching his own record label, OVO Sound, and a clothing line, October’s Very Own (OVO). He also became a co-owner of the Toronto Raptors, making significant strides in the sports business. Furthermore, his impact on the streaming landscape cannot be overstated; his songs consistently break streaming records, further solidifying his influence in the digital music realm. Without a doubt, Drake’s multifaceted accomplishments this last decade have undoubtedly reshaped the music and entertainment landscape.

Drake’s remarkable run in the music industry stands as a testament to his unparalleled talent, versatility, and enduring appeal. As he continues to inspire generations with his music and influence, it’s safe to say that we can chew on ‘For All The Dogs’, for now, until his return.
