Are two of Hip-Hop’s most towering titans, Drake and Kanye West, set to release a joint album? It seems so!
Full story below…
When Yeezy took to Twitter to rant about Apple‘s supposed feud with TIDAL, many assumed it stemmed from reports about the tech giant’s desire to purchase the Jay Z platform.
However, a new spin is emerging – one which sees West’s shared plans of getting Apple CEO Tim Cook on the phone with Jigga and Drake take on a new dimension.
For, during an appearance at the OVO Fest tonight in Toronto, the rappers revealed that they are working on a collaborative project.
Peep the video announcement…

Any such project would come at an interesting time.
Apple’s poster-boy Drake is unstoppable, with any and everything he touches turning a shiny hue of Platinum.
Kanye, on the other hand, hasn’t been enjoying the commercial heights of previous years – most notably with current LP ‘The Life Of Pablo.’ Without the corporate clout of the leading streaming platforms (West is part-owner of outsider TIDAL), could this be a smart corner cutting exercise to return to the top?
Whatever the case, both acts have a successful history with collaborative projects; as evidenced by ‘Watch The Throne’ and Drake’s Future team-up ‘What A Time To Be Alive.’
Watch this space.
I wish women in the music industry would aspire to work together like this.
I would love to see a Beyonce & Brandy or Brandy & Monica or Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson album.
Nice!
I can think up several collaborations for albums or singles from different artists that would either worked at one time (or even now). Those would be:
Beyonce & Christina
Beyonce & Adele
Rihanna & Pink
Janet & Aaliyah
Janet & JLO (definitely 10 years ago)
Janet and Madonna (would shock now)
Brandy & Alicia (Bran and Mo already came together)
Mary & Monica
Maxwell & D’Angelo
MJ & Prince
Whitney, Celine & Mariah (song) … It would have been THE vocal reference to refer to for centuries)
Toni & Sade
Usher & JT (weird, but musically it works)
Ne-Yo & John Legend
Fanny & JHud
Erykah & Jill
It’s nice to dream though
Kanye need something to revive his lackluster music career right now so why not use Drake.. It all works out.
Kanye thought the Kardashians would work some type of magic on him.
Too much material coming from Drake. Make me wanna buy your next album and stop over saturating the GP.
Where’s weezys new music?
I’m all the way here for it, but they MUST do a joint tour together with a few stadium dates in the mix. This album could seriously be successful.
Idk, i like Kanye but I’m beyond tired of Drake
Good, as long as it doesn’t involve Future or French Montana because i’m tired of everybody hyping those two for no legit reason.
Preach!
Please leave future out,he makes great music! He’s not over hyped… WWYKA
This album will be guaranteed to have great production and two capable artists that’s pretty evenly matched! I hoping it turn out to be a MBDTF/Graduation meets Take Care/Nothing Was the Same! I’m here for it!
Another album Drake? I swear the newer artist are like slaves. The lessor need to release two times more albums, singles and features. Adele and Beyoncé is the true seller, same goes to Taylor. The rest are just releasing a billion amount of albums each year. What I need is Keri album!
Beyonce doesn’t sell anywhere near what Adele and Taylor sell you’re delusional
Beyonce, true seller? More like queen of front loaded sales and hitless albums.
But despite the lackluster album sales, she’s still the queen of SOLD-OUT tours……isn’t it ironic(in my Alanis Morisette voice)!!!!
I’m so ready for this
I suspect a certain Mr West is peeved that his TIDAL-only exclusive release of “The Life of Pablo” didn’t yield financial rewards it might have had it been released traditionally. Make no mistake, the 1st week sales of “The Life of Pablo” would have been very impressive had they been released traditionally.
Who can blame him, his TIDAL buy-in really f***** up his sales and you can rest assured for the fact that his partner’s wife was given lease to release on apple did NOT sit well with him.
They’re both genuinely talented and the sales would be enormous, and there’s no way Drake would agree to the Tidal-only nonsense and let’s not even talk about the money they would get from the resultant tour. Hopefully its true because it would be great for both of them, great for their fans and great for hip/hip.
When will yall understand that that the only people who care about sales are YALL. The life of Pablo is yet another classic from kanye who who will outrap nearly anybody in this industry.
Dope
