Drake Is Back With “For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition”

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is back with new music! In a surprise move that has left fans buzzing with anticipation since he announced the surprise drop, For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition is out now. The project now features 29 tracks, including the originals on For All The Dogs and six brand new ones. J. Cole appears on new track “Evil Ways.” The 6 God, known for his chart-topping hits and game-changing albums, took to social media on Wednesday night (Nov. 15) to share the exciting news of a new album. In addition, in a cryptic video trailer announcement earlier today, Drake hinted at what listeners can expect from the new music. “You know, ultimately it’s coming to me in a way that I haven’t experienced since [2015’s] If You’re Reading This [It’s Too Late], where it’s just kind of like I feel like I’m on drugs,” he says in a voiceover.

The additional tracks Drake’s confidence in his latest body of work is admirable. He declared “I feel no need to appease anybody. I feel so confident about the body of work I just dropped that I know I can go and disappear for whatever… six months, a year… two years.” This bold statement suggests that the third installment of Scary Hours might be a standout move to close out the year. After having a big year, with just finishing out his It’s All A Blur Tour, to dropping the highly-anticipated For All The Dogs, Drake’s not taking any breaks. In recent news, he also announced that he’s going back on tour, but this time with J. Cole.

The announcement follows closely on the heels of Drake’s recent release For All The Dogs video featuring J. Cole, a collaboration that had fans clamoring for more.

Drake’s G-Wagon Winner Didn’t Get To Keep Prize, Fan’s Mom Alleges

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During Drake’s final tour stop in Toronto, he promised to send one fan home with an extravagant gift. The news wasn’t too shocking, as he’s done similar giveaways on his It’s All A Blur tour in the past. Previously, fans have left his shows with designer bags, thousands of dollars, and even cars.

At the show, the Canadian hitmaker vouched to gift an audience member a Mercedes-Benz G550V G-Wagon. A clip of Drake reading off the winning ticket made its rounds online after, and commenters praised his generosity. The lucky winner had driven all the way from Pittsford, NY to see Drake, according to his friend’s mother. Unfortunately, however, she also claims that he left empty-handed.

Drake Fans Were “Unhappy And Disappointed”

The woman spoke with HipHopDX recently, recalling how her son’s friend was allegedly told that he couldn’t take his prize home. “Their discussion with my son and his friend went on for nearly an hour,” she explained. “Trying to come up with some way that he could accept the car.” Apparently, the fact that the winner wasn’t a Canadian citizen made the prize non-transferable. She says that following an hour of discussion, they were told “No, you absolutely cannot take the vehicle.”

“Those leading the contest should have been able to tell the winner up front, right away, that the prize was absolutely not transferable,” she also added. “Instead they went back and forth about it, and in the end, my son’s friend walked away with nothing, and they both missed the last hour of the concert!!! Absolutely ridiculous!! Handled very unprofessionally in my opinion.” She then went on to share how much of a let-down the mishap was for the two fans. “This situation left two of his fans very unhappy and disappointed,” she additionally claimed. “After they drove over three hours to Toronto and paid for a hotel room and concert tickets.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Drake.

He says that it’s not only been the best tour of his life, but the final show in Toronto featured the best on-stage moment of his career.

“O CANADA WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Drake Gifts G-Wagon To Lucky Fan At Toronto Show

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s been a very generous 6 God throughout his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage, so how could he not ramp it up for his home city? Moreover, the duo recently performed in Toronto on both Friday and Saturday night (October 6 and 7), and it was actually 21’s first-ever show outside of the United States. To celebrate the occasion, and the release of his new album For All The Dogs, Drizzy wanted to close the city’s run of shows with a bang. For the penultimate stop of their tour, he gave away a Mercedes-Benz G550V G-Wagon to one lucky fan in the audience.

Of course, this should come as no surprise to anyone who’s followed It’s All A Blur closely, though this might be the most expensive and luxurious gift to fans so far, albeit among the least meaningful. For example, Drake also vowed to connect a fan suffering from multiple sclerosis with the resources and medical help necessary to overcome it. Other gifts and bands given away during the tour have been to heartbroken individuals or ones who made a great sacrifice to make it into the crowd. As such, no matter where the OVO mogul and 21 popped out, they made sure to give back as much as they could, and maybe even more than that.

Furthermore, this is contributing to a lot of conversation and hype around Drake this weekend. With For All The Dogs finally in our hands, there’s been a lot for him to celebrate, enjoy… and blast. Joe Budden’s criticism of the project resulted in a feud between him, its artist, and Birdman. The fallout of that is still developing, but it’s been wild to see people take sides and clown everyone involved for their stubbornness.

Meanwhile, there’s only one more tour stop for the Her Loss duo: Columbus, Ohio on Monday (October 9). In fact, there are a couple of canceled or postponed shows that might end up happening. As such, it looks like this isn’t the end… and they might go overseas for next time. For more news and updates on Drake, stay logged into HNHH.

21 Savage Spotted Cruising Around Toronto

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid the drop of Drake’s new For All The Dogs track “8AM In Charlotte,” fans learned that 21 Savage finally has a green card. Some longstanding issues with ICE had previously made him unable to perform outside of the U.S. This led many to believe that the rapper would finally be able to join Drake for Canadian dates on their It’s All A Blur tour.

The news came just ahead of the tour’s final stretch, which included two scheduled performances in Drake’s home city. It also came in time for the release of For All The Dogs, which was sure to create some of the most exciting shows of the tour. It was thought that 21 Savage would grace the stage both nights in Toronto, however, fans were disappointed when the first night came and went with no 21 Savage. Drake brought out Lil Baby instead, and reports suggested that he had been denied entry to Canada.

Rumors swirled suggesting these difficulties meant he wouldn’t be performing in Canada after all. He came through at Drake’s second performance in Toronto, however. As expected, fans went wild as he was welcomed to the stage, and the duo embraced. In a new clip making its rounds online, the newly-official U.S. citizen is also seen cruising around Toronto. A couple of fans spotted him, approaching the vehicle and greeting him. The supporters seemed pretty shocked and excited to see 21 Savage, and he looked to be in similarly high spirits. The artist is seen waving, shaking their hands, and smiling.

It’s unclear whether he was spotted before or after he and Drake’s exciting performance. Either way, fans are glad to see his immigration issues finally settled. What do you think of 21 Savage getting spotted by fans in traffic? Did you catch his show with Drake in Toronto? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on 21 Savage.

Drake’s Son Adonis’ Mother, Sophie Brussaux, Supports Him At Toronto Show

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The mother of Drake’s 5-year-old son Adonis, Sophie Brussaux, came out to support the performer at one of his recent shows. The hitmaker is at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage. He was joined by the UK-born rapper for the first time outside of the U.S. since the tour started, as he just recently got his green card. It was also Drake’s first show since dropping off his eagerly-anticipated new album, For All The Dogs.

Clearly, the show was a big deal for Drake, and Brussaux was sure to be in attendance to cheer him on. The Toronto-based artist shared some shots from the evening on social media, alongside a sweet caption. One of her posts features an adorable photo of their son lit up on various screens at Scotiabank Arena. “Love you [heart emoji] @champagnepapi,” she captioned it.

In other photos, the French mother of one is seen rocking a temporary tattoo of the hitmaker on her arm. Clearly, she couldn’t be prouder of the father of her son amid his countless successes. Drake wasn’t the only person Brussaux got to celebrate last night, however. Their toddler also makes an appearance on the album, rapping on the track “Daylight.” On top of making his rap debut, the young boy is also the mind behind the cover art for the project, and stars alongside his father in the music video for “8AM In Charlotte.”

Adonis says the creature on the album cover is a “daddy goat” that he feels represents his own dad. What do you think of Sophie Brussaux stopping by Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour to show him some love? How are you liking his new album For All The Dogs so far?

Drake Offers Help To Fan With MS, Will Pay College Tuition For 7 People At Toronto Show

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake and 21 S*vage’s It’s All A Blur tour is wrapping up soon, and what better city to send it off than the former’s Toronto home? Moreover, before their final concert in Columbus, Ohio, they’ll have two shows in the city- well, technically just Drizzy, since 21 was denied entry into Canada and Lil Baby came out instead. If you know the duo’s trek well, you know that they’ve gone above and beyond to help fans in the crowd, whether with gifts, financially, or with a great performance. Of course, for a show in the 6, you know that its God went all-out for his die-hards.

“This one’s important to me,” Drake told the crowd on Friday night (October 6). “Her sign says, ‘I just found out I have MS [multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease attack]. Will you help make my night?’ You know, my brother [Noah] ’40’ [Shebib] is one of the strongest people on Earth, and he fights through a lot of things. So, what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna connect you with 40, first of all. Maybe y’all can have a conversation. And second of all, I’m gonna pay whatever it takes to get you the best help in the world. I promise you that. You got my word. And you can come back tomorrow night!”

Drake Empathizes With Fan Going Through MS, Wants To Help Them All He Can

Not only that, but Drake also noticed a lot of others in the crowd going through rough patches. When remarking on some college hopefuls, graduates, or current students in the crowd with signs, he made a big promise. First, the rapper said that he would pay for two people’s tuition, who were holding up signs about their university struggles or happenings. Then, he announced that he wanted to find five more people in the crowd to pay their tuition in full and get them settled, which is an astounding commitment.

Drizzy Will Pay For Seven Fans’ Tuition

Meanwhile, with all the buzz around his new album For All The Dogs, the stage must’ve felt different for Aubrey Graham last night. Whether it was the fans’ energy or the motivation from a new drop, we hope this tour closes out with fireworks. There are still a couple of postponed shows that they haven’t rescheduled, so it’s not fully over yet. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.

21 Savage Performing With Drake In Toronto Since Securing Green Card

October 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake unveiled his eagerly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs this morning after plenty of teasing. Just ahead of the release, Drake dropped off one track from the album, “8AM In Charlotte.” Fans were quick to notice that the song features lyrics about 21 Savage, who’s currently touring with Drake. “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/ Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian,” he raps.

The UK-born performer had some ongoing issues ICE, after being detained in 2019 for being “unlawfully present” in the U.S. He was later released, but wasn’t allowed to leave the country. Unfortunately, this meant that throughout the It’s All A Blur tour, other acts have had to fill in for him at all Canadian dates. Canadian fans were able to catch performances from J. Cole and Travis Scott, but it was still a disappointment that 21 Savage couldn’t perform. Now that he has a green card, however, he’s been given free reign to perform outside of the U.S.

21 Savage Can Finally Perform Outside Of The U.S.

Luckily for fans, this new development has been unveiled just in time for the final stretch of the It’s All A Blur tour. Drake is scheduled to perform in his home city of Toronto tonight (October 6) and tomorrow, and will reportedly be joined by 21 Savage. The rapper joining Drake in Canada isn’t the only thing he has to look forward to, however.

It was also recently reported by Billboard that he plans on embarking on an international tour sometime in the near future. This, in conjunction with rumors that he’s got a new album on the way, makes for a very exciting development for fans. What do you think of 21 Savage finally securing his green card?

Drake Calls Birdman His “Real OG,” Kai Cenat, Central Cee, And Roy Woods Stop By Tour

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake recently brought his It’s All A Blur tour to Atlanta, where he was visited by some very special guests. In new photos making their rounds online, Roy Woods is seen posing alongside UK rapper Central Cee as well as streamer Kai Cenat. The trio looked to be in great spirits, enjoying the show from the VIP section. Central Cee has opened for Drake at a variety of stops throughout the tour, including Glendale and Charlotte.

In one clip, Cenat and Central Cee can be seen rapping along to Lil Baby’s “Freestyle,” together, and seemed to be having a blast. Kai Cenat, Central Cee, and Roy Woods aren’t the only artists who paid Drake a visit at his recent tour stop, however. In another clip, Cash Money Founder Birdman can be seen in the crowd, and of course, Drake had to give him a shoutout.

In the clip, Drake makes his way down the stairs when he spots the New Orleans native. “Hey!” he says, telling fans to “make some noise for [his] real OG.” He then grabs the camera and directs it at Birdman, who takes the opportunity to wave to the rest of the audience. The two of them are known to have a solid relationship since Drake’s departure from Birdman’s label. “I’m always going to be involved in the Cash Money/Young Money imprint,” Drake explained to Rap Radar in 2019. “And my loyalty, like I said, always lies there.”

Drake’s now at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur tour, after kicking things off in July. He’ll wrap things up this month, with a couple of shows in Toronto next week. He then plans to head to Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus, but those dates have yet to be announced.
