As expected, Drake shot to the top of real-time iTunes charts just minutes after the release of his latest single, ‘Toosie Slide’ (April 3).

“It go right foot up, left foot slide/Left foot up, right foot slide,” Drizzy commands in the Oz-produced cut.

Just in case you need a bit more visual instruction, however, the 33-year-old shows off the moves while making social distancing look cooler than ever.  Look inside to see what we mean:
