Drake Featured On Popcaan’s New Single “We Caa Done”

by

Famed reggae artist Popcaan is helping his fans bring in the new year with the single “We Caa Done.” Featuring Drake, the four-minute track debuted on streaming platforms along with an official music video.

“We Caa Done” contains an infectious beat and melodic verses delivered by both artists. The new song’s visual shows Drake and Popcaan partying together on a boat and jet skiing while surrounded by blue water.

Born Andrae Hugh Sutherland in Jamaica, Popcaan rose to prominence in the early 2010s following his collaborations with Vybez Kartel and several successful solo tracks. Since then, he’s earned his place as a high-charting global artist, later teaming up with artists like Jorja Smith and the Gorillaz.

Popcaan’s new jam is his latest featuring Drake. The two previously joined forces for the Dancehall star’s songs “My Chargie,” “TWIST & TURN,” and “All I Need.” He also recently signed with Drake’s OVO Sound and released Vanquish, his first project with the label, in 2019.

In a 2020 feature for the FADER, Popcaan opened up about his vision for the future of music saying, “I want people to appreciate the dynamism of dancehall music. It doesn’t have to have that one particular sound to be considered dancehall.”

“Also, I want to encourage more international collaborations which will incorporate the fusing of various genres,” he then added.

Gearing up for the release of his upcoming album Great Is He, the 34-year-old teased the project’s cover art on his Instagram earlier this week, sharing it with his nearly three million followers.

Popcaan And Drake Throw An Island Party In Their New ‘We Caa Done’ Video

Popcaan and Drake have another hit on their hands. On their new collaboration, “We Caa Done,” the two remind us that they are running the game, as Drake maintains his status as a genre-fluid hip-hop icon, and Popcaan reiterates his longevity as one of the biggest names in Afrofusion.

In the song’s accompanying video, Popcaan and Drake are seen partying near the ocean, surrounded by beautiful women, lush waters, while wearing lavish fashions.

This is the fourth time Popcaan and Drake have collaborated. Drake was featured on Popcaan’s 2020 project, FIXTAPE on the songs “All I Need” and “Twist & Turn.” Popcaan is also credited as a co-writer on Drake’s “Controlla” from his 2016 album, Views.

In an interview with The Recording Academy, Popcaan shouted Drake out, and noted that the platform Drake shared with him early on in his career helped him garner popularity for himself and for Afrofusion music in the US.

“By being around Drake and the whole connection, it gave me a lot of exposure,” Popcaan said. “We have a chemistry where music is concerned and whatever we do, it’s always [about] just [doing] something great … It’s a very great link, and it’s very good for my culture as well.”

Drake started the year off by making his directorial debut with TVGucci’s “Bora Bora” music video, depicting a lavish party and overflowing wealth. “I visit Bora Bora ’cause I’m bored,” TVGucci flaunts in the hook. Drake’s next collaborative offering with Popcaan figures to deliver the same vibe.

Popcaan posted a teaser video to his Instagram today, January 4, which Drake reposted to his Instagram Story. In it, Popcaan lights one up, Drake cruises the ocean on a jet ski, and bikini-clad women walk around under palm trees. Popcaan’s “We Caa Done” featuring Drake is expected to drop on Friday, January 6, giving it six full months to morph into an undeniable summer jam.

Popcaan has been an OVO artist since 2019. During the Jamaican dancehall artist’s Unruly Fest in December 2018, Drake made a surprise appearance and announced to the audience that Popcaan was “officially” signing with his OVO label.

Popcaan dropped his Fixtape project in August 2020, and Drake was the featured artist on tracks “Twist & Turn” and “All I Need.”

Popcaan fans have been waiting for his Great Is He album, and the release date appears to be drawing nearer. Yesterday, January 3, he shared the cover art and tweeted alongside it, “New year, new gear, new blessings, new money, new music!”

In 2022, Popcaan released potential Great Is He singles “Skeleton Cartier,” “One Way,” “Next To Me” featuring Toni-Ann Singh, and “Set It.” He also featured on Burna Boy’s triumphant afrobeats album, Love, Damini.

Popcaan Announces New Single With Drake

by

OVO is jumpstarting 2023 with some breezy vibes as Popcaan plots the release of his next single.

This morning, Popcaan announced that he would be coming through on Friday with a brand-new single alongside Drake. The two will be teaming up on “We Caa Done,” due out on Jan. 6th.

It seems like both Drake and Popcaan will be setting the tone with the forthcoming effort for 2023. While Drake came through with two projects in 2022, Popcaan hasn’t dropped a solo effort since 2020’s Fixtape. The two collaborated on the singles, “ALL I NEED” and “TWIST & TURN” alongside PartyNextDoor off of the project. Prior to announcing the single, he teased a project titled, Great Is He.

Drake signed Popcaan to OVO Sound officially in 2016. Three years later, he released his debut project on the label, Vanquish. Hopefully, the release of “We Caa Done” will lead to a brand new project from the dancehall star.

The Canadian rapper’s on pace to have another major year on his hands. After releasing three projects in the span of 14 months, Drake will be hitting the stage at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theatre later this month for back-to-back shows. The concerts were initially postponed in the wake of Takeoff’s passing before they were, once again, pushed back to 2023. The rapper will perform an intimate set at the Apollo on January 21st and 22nd, 2023.

“These upcoming shows for SiriusXM are so incredibly special for us. If you are going to play the world famous Apollo Theater, it has to be a world class production,” read a statement from Drake, SiriusXM and Sound 42. “We as a team have been working around the clock not just putting together a concert but an experience our fans deserve. With that said, we are up against some production delays that are just out of our control.”
