His latest album "Scorpio" came out in 2018. According to Nielsen Music, it earned 742.9 million on-demand audio streams during the first week of its release -- becoming the most popular album of the year.
Drake also appears to be working on a sequel to his collaborative project with fellow rapper Future, "What a Time to Be Alive," released in 2015. Last week, Future revealed on Instagram Stories that they were in the midst of "cook[ing] up new music."
Drake just concluded his residency at London's legendary O2 Arena, which was momentarily renamed the O3 for the rapper's Assassination Vacation tour -- hinting at his single "God's Plan" in which the rapper says "and you know me / Turn the O2 into the O3, dog."
