Drake's next project finally gets a release date, and it's soon

More Life has been described more as a playlist - featuring new music from Drake and other OVO Sound affiliates - rather than an album or mixtape

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

After a whole bunch of speculation and anticipation since its first announcement in October of last year, Drake has finally unveiled the release date for his next project.

The rapper revealed 18 March as the date when More Life will finally drop, in a short trailer posted to his Instagram page; seemingly composed of segments filmed during the European leg of his Boy Meets World tour.

However, More Life shouldn't be considered as a straight album from the artist, or even a mixtape, acting more as a playlist of new music from Drake himself and other OVO Sound affiliates.

The project was originally meant to drop back in December, though a first single - entitled 'Fake Love' - saw release in January, alongside a music video featuring Tyra Banks.

We'll have to see whether any of the new tracks address his rather strange feud with former collaborator Kanye West; which went from the pair sharing a stage last year to declare their mutual respect for each other, with an eye to a collab album on the horizon, to Kanye recently declaring Drake's tracks "overplayed" during his Saint Pablo tour.
