Drake's new album Views has finally dropped on Apple Music and iTunes after a nearly two year wait.

The Toronto rapper dropped the highly-anticipated 20-track album during a special episode of OVO Sound Radio late Thursday night.

During the episode, Drake chopped it up with host Zane Lowe and discussed the album's theme, plans of a collaborative mixtape with his neighbor Kanye West, his upcoming acting roles and how he no longer speaks to Nicki Minaj.

"The album is based around the changes of the seasons in our city [of Toronto]. It starts in the winter time," Drake said. "It's just to show you the two extreme moods that we have. We're grateful for our summers, and we make our winter's hot."

He added that the album is also a constant stream of his emotions, focusing more on himself rather than the people around him: “I’m a very honest person. I can’t write fiction.”

 

Family ting.
