Drake and Smiley Go ‘Over The Top’ on New Release

Drizzy and his fellow Torontonian have connections that extend well beyond their hometown.

Drake has previously cited Smiley as an “inspiration” and, a day after finding out he was one of the most-nominated artists for the 2019 Grammys, the rapper uploaded a video of himself shirtless in the pool, sipping a drink and cooling down to the intro track off Smiley’s A Tape to Remember.

Drake’s forthcoming sixth album was originally slated for release in January, but was pushed back due to his rehab from surgery. It’s the followup to the mega-hit double album from 2018, Scorpion.
