Drake has aired new track ‘Summer Sixteen’ for the first time on his Apple Beats 1 radio show ‘OVO Sound Radio’.
The song is the first single to come from the Canadian rapper’s hotly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Views From The 6’. Listen below.
Drake also shared the artwork for the track on his Instagram account. Illustrated by Polish artist Filip Pagowski, the design is a reinterpretation of an emoji-filled Instagram post the rapper put out last week. See below.
Fans speculated last week that ‘Views From The 6’, Drake’s upcoming new record, was almost complete after the musician shared a series of pictures of himself in the studio on Instagram. Known collaborators Noah “40” Shebib, Future the Prince, and Oliver El-Khatib all featured heavily. Drake has since revealed the record is due out in April.
The news comes just days after Rihanna dropped her new single ‘Work’, on which Drake featured. The Barbadian singer released her long-awaited album ‘Anti’ a day later.
