Your support helps us to tell the story
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.
Your support makes all the difference.Drake's surprise 17-track mixtape has absolutely exploded, already attracting 17.3 million Spotify streams and breaking his own record for Nothing Was The Same.
It has been lauded in think pieces, tattooed on the back of people's necks (below) and its minimal font is now the subject of an app/website letting you write your own scrawled message - ifyouretypingthisitstoolate.com
The artwork has been contentious, drawing comparisons to the Chick-fil-A font and annoying people with its lack of proper grammar, but is impactful in its simplicity.
If You're Reading This It's Too Late's success comes in spite of it having zero love songs, and the first two tracks being incongruously disappointing.
Fortunately, 'Know Yourself', 'Madonna', 'Preach' and 'Now & Forever' are all so good it's amazing Drake didn't deem them strong enough for the next album, which is still expected sometime this year.
It's going to be a big year for hip hop, with new Kendrick Lamar and new Kanye West also expected.
Anyway, here's a Vine to sum up your listening this week.
