Rapper Drake pulled a Beyoncé, surprising fans late Thursday with a 17-track album.
“If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” may have been tipped off earlier in the day when the artist debuted a short film titled “Jungle,” which ranges from historical footage to scenes of a young Drake singing and rapping. Soon after, he tweeted what appeared to be his album cover.
Tracks include collaborations with artists Lil Wayne, Travi$ Scott and PartyNextDoor. A handwritten note on Drake’s OVO site gives shout-outs to the Toronto Raptors, Madonna and Ginuwine, among others. The rapper also took to Instagram to ask whether fans liked his mixtape.
Releasing unexpected music seems to be all the rage since singer Beyoncé dropped a surprise album in 2013. The self-titled album was a huge hit, selling more than a million copies in less than three weeks.
