The holidays are upon us, and there’s no greater gift than the gift of music. This holiday season, you can give the Drake fan in your life all sorts of goodies and treats.

Uproxx has put together a nifty little guide for Drizzy fans, for those who simply can’t have too much of the prolific rapper. At the time of writing, no Black Friday deals have been announced, but fans can purchase some fun items just in time for jolly season (and some of the options below might just get price cuts as Black Friday approaches).

Dave’s-giving Party Pack from Dave’s Hot Chicken

Drake fans who wish to get the festivities started early with the Dave’s Hot Turkey Party Pack from Dave’s Hot Chicken — a chain in which Drake is an investor. The Dave’s-giving party pack comes with Winter Sports-Themed Bibs, a Floral Centerpiece Cutout featuring Dave’s heads as tulips, photobooth props, and much more. Guests of Southern California- and Detroit-area Dave’s stores can add this pack to orders of sliders, tenders, or fries for $10 more, or purchase for an additional $12. Granted, this merch isn’t directly related to Drake, but makes for a fun addition to Drake memorabilia.

Items are available in select stores only.

Tickets to Drake’s It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour

Drake and J. Cole will kick off 2024 with their North American It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour. While they won’t be hitting too many major cities, Drake does plan to touch on the cities he missed on the first go-around of the tour. This is ideal for Drake fans who also didn’t get to make the first iteration of It’s All A Blur.

Tickets are available for purchase here.

Drake and Kendra Samir’s Titles Ruin Everything poetry book

Drake and longtime collaborator Kendra Samir released a poetry book called Titles Ruin Everything, a collection of words and lines Drake previously described as a “stream of consciousness.” While Drake’s most recent music has prompted some mixed reactions, the poetry book makes for a lovely addition to one’s coffee table.

The book is available for purchase through Drake’s official merchandiser, Drake Related.

Drake’s Views hoodie and sweatpants

Keep it cozy with loungewear embedded with the logo from Drake’s 2016 album, Views — which many fans hail as the quintessential Drake project.

Items are available via Drake Related.

Drake’s Good Thoughts candle

Manifest positive energy into your home with the Good Thoughts candle. Crafted with orange and fir balsam and paired with rose and sandalwood provides a spiritual experience within the house.

Candles are available for purchase through Better World Fragrance House.

Drake’s Nike NOCTA Glides

Kick it like Drake in these stylish new NOCTA Glides, which he designed as a partnership with Nike. These may be a bit more pricey than some of the aforementioned items, but they’ll run you cheaper than some of the tickets for the It’s All A Blur shows. Granted, you may have to fight some Ticketmaster-esque crowds.

The Glides are available for purchase through NOCTA.

How To Get Free Dave’s Hot Chicken On Drake’s Birthday

Drake’s birthday is coming up and for the second year in a row, Mr. October’s Very Own is giving fans the gift of free food via the Dave’s Hot Chicken chain (in which Drake is an investor). The chicken chain, which started in California but has since expanded to Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York, and more, has quickly become a fast food favorite, and Drake’s involvement has certainly been at least a factor in its growing popularity (check out Uproxx’s rating of their sandwiches here).

How To Get Free Dave’s Hot Chicken On Drake’s Birthday

On Monday, October 24, you can get a Dave’s Hot Chicken slider or tender at every Dave’s Hot Chicken from 11 am to 9 pm local time. You’ll just need to download the Dave’s Hot Chicken app and scan it at the counter. Unfortunately, you will have to go to the restaurant, as this offer isn’t available online or through third-party delivery apps like DoorDash, GrubHub, or Uber Eats.

It’s probably fair to say that Drake’s had a pretty solid year since last October 24, when he turned 36. He had a highly successful tour with 21 Savage, dropped another album, For All The Dogs, and even released a book of poetry. So what will he do for his 37th year? Take a break, apparently. He’s certainly earned one.

Drake is having a great time right now. His tour just ended and his album just came out, as well. Overall, For All The Dogs has been a massive commercial success. Critically, it has proven to be a bit polarizing. However, he is marching forward with some big streaming numbers. In fact, he is now tied with Michael Jackson for most number-one songs. This is a massive accomplishment, and fans continue to be amazed by what he has done. Now, however, he is on a hiatus.

The real Drake stans out there know that he is celebrating his birthday, very soon. On October 24th, Drizzy will be turning 37 years old. It is almost hard to fathom that the artist is in his middle age right now. In three years, he will be 40 years old, which puts him close to legacy act status. That said, it seems like the artist wants to do something cool for his birthday. According to HipHop-N-More, he will be giving away free food at Dave’s Hot Chicken.

On October 24th, all you need to do is go to a Dave’s Hot Chicken location and scan your app. You can either get a slider or a tender for your troubles, and they will spice it to your desire. You can see which stores will be doing this, here. “After completing his It’s All a Blur tour and releasing his new album, For All the Dogs, Drake is once again celebrating his birthday with everyone at Dave’s Hot Chicken and our guests across the globe,” Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO Bill Phelps said. “He’s our most famous investor and the fact that he wants to give something back to fans by letting everyone try Dave’s Hot Chicken on him, that says it all.”

This is a great activation, and we’re sure fans of both Drake and the restaurant will be very excited about it. Let us know what you think of these birthday plans, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

If you’ve spent any time in cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Dallas, or Portland, you might be familiar with the restaurant chain Dave’s Hot Chicken. Well, Drake‘s a certified fan, because the Certified Lover Boy rapper announced on Monday that he’s taking on a minority stake in the chicken chain. “I tried the food and it was amazing,” the rapper said in a statement. “After meeting the founders and hearing their story, I jumped at the opportunity to invest.”

“Started from the bottom now we’re here. welcome to the Dave’s Hot chicken family @champagnepapi @futuretheprince,” Dave’s wrote on Instagram. “WHERE DO YOU WANT US TO OPEN A STORE NEXT.” Wow, I suddenly need to go grab some lunch. I don’t care if it’s not even 11 a.m.

Anyway, in other Drake news, Certified Lover Boy posted a huge debut last week. After delays that stretched out over eight months, the rapper released the album, which came with a stacked lineup of features: Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla Sign, and more all appeared on the project. It wound up giving Drake his tenth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, making him one of only eight artists to do so. Now, for its second week on the chart, Certified Lover Boy maintains its position at the top.

Certified Lover Boy is out now via OVO Sound/Republic. Get it here.
