Drake acted as a spokesman for Apple’s new service, Connect, at today’s (June 8) Apple event, according to The Verge. Today is also the first day of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.
The rapper said that he will be releasing his next album through Connect, a feature of Apple Music, a streaming service that may be in competition with TIDAL and Spotify.
Connect is slated to allow artists to interact with fans. Artists, signed or not, can post lyrics, photos and music. The material will then link to social media and the artists’ websites.
“Focus on your body of work,” Drake says, according to The Verge. “Instead of having to post your stuff on these different and sometimes confusing places, it’s all in one place: Connect.”

LOL good joke.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL to infinity @Francisco. LOL LOL
Article was a tad bit underwhelming on the Drake end. Will say it shed light on artists becoming aware of the money in these new technological breakthroughs in the digital game.
I would like to see Drake work with that white female Brielle Marie her unique voice and tones with his production and ideals Crazyyy.Her song Only Human is crazy
Drake doesn’t produce. I wouldn’t mind the collaboration between the two though. Nice idea.
Just listened, it’s average at best. There are many talented British artists that have a better voice.
the rap god. In 2015 name a rapper hotter than drake right now. You can’t cause drake shits on all these rappers. Eminem is a washed up hasbin who makes terrible music. Drake outsells every other rapper and is far more popular, Kendrick can’t even do half of drakes numbers and doesnt even have half the fans drake has. Thats why that bum runs to taylor swift to get hits.
“Kendrick can’t even do half of drakes numbers and doesnt even have half the fans drake has.”
On the other hand, Drake can’t make an album that’s as good as any of Kendrick’s. Look, from your comment I understand you don’t look for concept/lyrics/point in a song, and I doubt you’d talk about Kendrick like this if you’ve listened to To Pimp a Butterfly. But believe me, and both the fans and critics – Kendrick is the best rapper in the last 10 years, one of the GOATs
Fact: TPAB is the highest rated album of all time including ALL GENRES if we take the avg. critic score. Courtesy of metacritics
too bad music is subjective and numbers are facts. Drake shits on that bum kendrick numbers wise and thats a fact. I know a lot of people who disliked that garbage kendrick album.
You’re still trolling with those lies while dickriding Aubrey? Leave.
Numbers are not facts and they don’t say who’s the best. Kendrick has better music thank Aubrey, that’s a fact, not what you posted. Your last sentence is a lie since you don’t know any people and anyone who thinks TPAB are garbage people.
Numbers are COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to artistic integrity, and this is obvious. Numbers mean absolutely NOTHING to me. Show me the artistry. Just because some white girls and homosexuals buy Drake music off the shelves don’t make it good, it just make the music POP and catchy like 2Chainz music.
Whatever
damn that one OVO troll dude started a whole legion of dumbass troll followers…. smdh
Tpab was a terrible album, the media, and album reviews gassed this garbage a$$ album up, gkmc was dope, that was a album im proud to say I bought. Every drake album I bought has exceeded, or lived up to expectations. Now keep in mind, wale is my my favorite rapper, but mr. Drizzy outshines and puts out better bodies of work.
Tell me you’re joking. TPAB is a great album. All of Aubrey’s albums are average at best. Kendrick is better.
I agree wholeheartedly with you about TPAB. Most people i spoke to agreed that it was garbage. Had maybe one good song. I was expecting much more from the man whose first album was a classic.
Just kidding. OP is delusional. Everyone I know said that TPAB was dope. Every song was dope. #classic
TPAB is a classic. Just check up the critical reviews by Metacritic and others on wikipedia. Near perfect. You are just a person who likes listening to bangers and does not take the time to interpret the meaning of his lyrics
GTFOH!!! Drake is ghey…
TPAB wasn’t terrible it has some great songs on it(Allright,MortalMan). It also has some B.S(King Kunta,U,WesleysTheory) on it and it has some OK on it(complexion, How much a doller cost). I thought it was good but could be better its definitely not better than GKMC and it’s definitely NOT a classic. I don’t need Metacritic or any anyone on the Internet to tell me what sounds good to my ears.
I can’t believe im E thuggin on hiphopdx. So you mean to tell me, a rapper who has only released two albums commercially, was dropped from deaf jam, is a better artist than one of the most consistent artists of this era. Were not talking about metaphors, or catchphrases. We talkn bought music I can play with my moma, my kids my wife. Kendrick is dope, but his second album was average at best, im not a hater, im a realist.
If by consistent, you mean average. Yes, Kendrick is better than Aubrey. He’s a better rapper and has better music. That last album Drake put out was doo doo. TPAB is a dope album, you are hating.
If you’re looking for music to play for your mom and kids, then you rap ain’t it.
I must be talking to a child, this shit is pointless. Do everybody a favor and go jerk your dick to some bbw videos on xvideos. I see you typing but you ain’t say nothing. Validate your comments, if I think it’s worth it, I might respond. I don’t even do this shit. I came to read about views from the 6 and see the public voicing their opinions, I voiced mine, now im engaged in a keyboard war with an idiot, gtfoh!
You’re the idiot child here and it’s you who’s saying nothing.
this uncle tom ass nigga dun turn his back on tidal aka the only black owned business competing with Apple, and fina copy their move with xclusive content. smdh. fuck you drake.
You’re dumber then a box of rocks. Tidal may be owned by Black Celebs but there is not one employee that i black that works there.
drake wtf man,so he just finna do this deal bt i thot he was there at tidal
he wasn’t!!! he was doing this all along since it was in the works.. but RIP Tidal cuz thats a joke excuse to make money when not all artist are on board
hahaha all these jay stans butt hurt cuz drake aint go wit tidal
Why are you Kendrick Stans here? Oh I know to hate on Drake LOL go listen to Bad Blood or something.
All I see is Drake stans hating on Kendrick.
LOL go listen to Hold On We’re Going Home or another one of Drake’s gay ass pop ballads.
I sure will good song 3x’s platinum. Matter of fact I’m playing it right now just for you.
HiphopDX really needs to start having some substance behind these articles. articulate shit, not just spew back the same ole shit running elsewhere on the internet.
Drake,Kendrick,jay-z, eminem, then nas! My top 5
I’m shutting shit down at the malllll, and telling Jay Tidal’s the one for meeee, but I ain’t even planning to calllll lolol
Fact numbers count, if u have zero fans nd i have fewer it means am de best dat eva did 2 yu, Drake is de best rapper dan dat dont kill my vibe shit
Learn how to spell. And no, fans and numbers doesn’t make you the best.
How is this even an article? There are no direct quotes from Drake about his album. We all know that Views From the 6 is on its way, so what exactly is the news in this article? It’s more about Connect than Drake’s new album…the headline is very misleading.

Drake is trash. I don’t know for the life of me why people like him.
It’s probably the catchy hooks and being light skinned.
Nobody cares about his fraudulent douche….
sad that he cant see what Jay z is trying to do over at TIDAL,oh well,not everyone sees the vision..
Ok.. So what IS jay z trying to do?
