Albums, mixtapes, singles, soundtrack songs, collaborations, features, one of the biggest tours of the year — it seems like every day Drake is adding to his vast discography, with the release ET today Launched at 6am, For All the Dogs has grown to nine full-length albums since 2010 (four released in just over two years) and seven mixtapes since 2006 ,etc.
Their sessions are always long AF too, with working hours of an hour or more, clocking in at nearly 85 minutes across 23 songs, and “Dogs” is no exception. It’ll take our reviewers a minute to digest, so in the meantime, let’s take a look at the features, songwriters, and producers, with one song (“Rich Baby Daddy”) having as many as 13 writers, up to There are only 13 authors. Drake and a few others.
They’re always packed with features, too, and this one doesn’t disappoint: SZA, Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, J Cole, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Yeat, and multiple appearances from Lil Yachty (both rapping and producing). Frank Ocean appears on the opener, “Virginia Beach,” but that appears to be a spoken word sample.
However, some fans were unhappy with the absence of Drake’s longtime friend and former Young Money labelmate Nicki Minaj, who Drake said in July would appear on the album. (Maybe they’ll save it for a deluxe edition, or even her upcoming “Pink Friday 2” album?)
