Drake has released ‘For All The Dogs’, featuring a second collaboration with SZA – but no Nicki Minaj appearance as previously teased.
Hours after he unveiled the mammoth 23-song tracklisting for his hotly anticipated album and confirmed the imminent release date, the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ is here.
After delaying the release slightly from September 22, the ‘Rich Flex’ rapper shared the song titles on social media, but no featured artists, although his recent hit collaboration with former flame SZA, ‘Slime You Out’, appeared.
However, the features became clear when the album dropped, with SZA also lending her vocals to ‘Rich Baby Daddy’ alongside rapper Sexxy Red.
But there is no sign of Nicki.
Drake had claimed the ‘Super Freaky Girl’ hitmaker was on a track on the LP during his concert in Detroit in July.
He told the crowd: “I’m gonna give away one thing for you tonight, because I got a lot of love for Detroit.
“So I’m gonna have to tell you that me and Nicki Minaj did our first song together in, like, a really long time. I got a lot of love for her.”
Nicki also told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “I know the world’s going to love the song, and that’s all I will say about that.”
She then quipped: “But, no, Zane, Barbz, make sure y’all let Drizzy Drake know that Pink Friday 2 is coming out November 17th as well. And we are waiting on his contribution.”
Other features include J. Cole on ‘First Person Shooter’, Bad Bunny on ‘Gently’ and Lil Yachty on ‘Another Late Night’.
Drake’s ‘Her Loss’ collaborator 21 Savage also appears on the track ‘Calling For You’.
The record was released at 6am EST on Friday (06.10.23), which is 11am UK time.
The 36-year-old superstar jokingly apologised to fans streaming the record for the length.
He wrote on Instagram alongside the tracklist: “FOR ALL THE DOGS
