More Life

by Drake

March 18 (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic)

Is it an album? A mixtape? A "playlist project" (as the artist insists)? Drake has been promising its release since last year, and More Life—whatever it is—will finally arrive this weekend. It is expected to include new Drake tracks as well as music from his fellow OVO Sound artists.
