The 22-track LP is Drake’s first solo rap album since “Honestly Nevermind”. Released last year, the sprawling rap record paved the way for “Her Loss” – Drizzy’s debut collaborative effort with 21 Savage.
Originally slated to release on September 22, Drake delayed “For All The Dogs” LP. At the time, Drake stated that he is caught up between “finishing his album and cancel shows” or pushing back the LP release date by a couple of weeks.
“Okay my dilemma I am faced with is either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show,” Drake wrote on IG. “I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to-date we will be spinning back for sure. For All the Dogs October 6th. It’s only right…” the rapper said.
With the release of “For All The Dogs”, Drake now heads towards his turf Toronto for the closing sets of “It’s All A Blur” tour.
Well, “For All The Dogs” is here now.
