Looks like Drake is working on a new album and it won’t have as many songs as the last. While sitting courtside at the Toronto Raptors game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday (February 21st), Drizzy spoke on the follow-up to his last album, Scorpion. He told the commentators, “Honestly, I’m out here, I’m working hard, you know. I’m tucked away trying to finish an album.”
The Toronto rapper went on to say that the amount of songs on Scorpion was inspired by The Notorious B.I.G., saying, “My last album was high volume. I had to sort of like… Notorious B.I.G. put this album out and the ratio of songs versus just important songs was so incredible that I wanted to set a challenge for myself, you know. I hate to age myself, but I’ve been doing this like 10-plus years as well. Sometimes you gotta set a little target goal for yourself just to keep it interesting.”
He added about the album, which had 25 tracks, “So last album, I went high volume. It did two sides, it was like 20-something songs, which is a lot of songs. This album, I’ll probably make it a more realistic offering, something more concise. Anywhere, whatever you want, it can be 10, 11 songs, 16. I also do a lot of different types of music so it’s tough to make it like a seven-song album or something like that. But yeah, I’m having a lot of fun right now making music.”
No word on when to expect the next album just yet.
