The rapper’s latest album has arrived just on time to soundtrack the summer of many music lovers worldwide.
‘Honestly, Nevermind’ comes exactly nine months since Drake’s September 2021 ‘Certified Lover Boy’ which featured collaborations from Lil Baby (‘Girls Want Girls’), Travis Scott (‘Fair Trade’), Ty Dolla $ign (‘Get Along Better’), Kid Cudi (‘IMY2’), Future (‘N 2 Deep’), and Lil Wayne and Rick Ross (‘You Only Live Twice’), among others; which went ahead & topped the charts upon its release and is still holding strong at No. 13 on the Billboard 200.

The album arrives just hours after Drake’s surprise announcement, which didn’t just break the internet but also sent social media into a frenzy.
