At 6 a.m. today (October 6th), Drake enthusiasts were finally treated to his highly anticipated eighth studio album, titled “For All The Dogs.” This LP’s release came after a series of delays and follows his 2022 album, “Honestly, Nevermind.”
Immediately upon its release, the pre-release single “Slime You Out,” featuring SZA, shot to the top of the charts, marking Drake’s 12th No. 1 on the Hot 100.
