The book, adorned in a captivating shade of blue, is available through drakerelated.com, Phaidon.com (the book’s publisher), and select retailers.
For $19.95, you can immerse yourself in the thought-provoking world of his poetry book.
The book was penned by Drake’s long-time collaborator, Kenza Samir.
She’s the genius behind the rapper’s 2015 mixtape “If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late” and his 2018 album “Scorpion.”
The rapper also shared a heartwarming message from one of his high school teachers, who congratulated him on his latest literary venture.
“Oh my gosh! A HUGE congratulations! I can’t wait to read it! You always were one of the best writers I ever taught [two double heart emojis].”
To ensure the world knows about this literary marvel, Drake didn’t hold back on the marketing.
He took out full-page ads in prominent publications like the New York Times and the New York Post.
Alongside the poetry book, Drake teased another project called “For All the Dogs.”
Hidden within the QR code in the newspaper ads, this album has yet to receive an official release date.
Rumor has it that it was initially planned to drop on June 23.
Still, the rapper delayed it out of respect for his friend and collaborator, Young Thug, and his album “Business Is Business.”
The rapper hinted at his upcoming album being a companion piece to the book.
“I made an album to go with the book…They says they miss the old Drake girl don’t tempt me.”
From captivating the world with his music to now gracing us with his poetry, Drake continues to captivate our hearts and minds.
