Noah “40” Shebib, the man largely responsible for the signature sound of Drake, is working on much more than music.
In a tweet posted on July 7, 40 reacted to the gun violence in Toronto and noted that the news coverage of it has bothered him. He ended his message with a promise to deliver a project that will “help develop sustainable solutions to [the] city’s violence problem.”
Recently, Toronto has dealt with its fair share of shooting deaths. Rapper Smoke Dawg was shot and killed in the city on June 30. Last year, OVO affiliate Fif suffered the same fate.
40 hasn’t announced any details about what the project is yet. But, he says he’s working with a “team of invested and qualified individuals” on creating “environments so these communities may flourish within themselves, for themselves.”
Fans most recently heard 40’s work on Drake’s latest album, Scorpion. He produced multiple tracks on the double LP, which has broken streaming records and went platinum on its release day.

Yeah. Those 70 murders in a year are out of control. Since you are appropriating art from the U.S. and cola seating with the biggest fraud in Hip-Hop history, why not help in Chicago, since your boy uses U.S. slang? Jamaica would be nice too, since your man uses a fake ass Jamaican accent all the time.
Just heard the frauds behind bars freestyle from England. He used typical british slang words too. That dude has no Identity nor self respect.
Do you normally talk to yourself like this?
And he likes his own comments.
By the end of May there were 162 shootings in Toronto. Mostly black on black crime – including a 9 year old and a five year girl hit by stray bullets last week. You’re saying this is not a problem because it’s not enough blacks who’ve been shot for your liking? GTFOH Suburbanite
Even one single murder is one too many – no matter the geography. And you hating on this man trying to do good and give his contribution to SAVING LIVES because you dislike his friend’s music just makes you an fucking idiot.
Some simple research would show you that Toronto’s on pace for 100 murders this year. Sure, maybe that doesn’t meet “American standards”, but it’s still considered a problem up here in the black community.
Hahahaha. He said “black community” referring to Canada. Hilarious. I’m literally dying. That cosplay shit is getting serious bro…
That’s more ni**as that’s been up in your moms. And only middle class nerds talk about cosplay. Side note. Lol
Toronto might not have as big a black population as NYC, Chicago or Philly but it’s got more black people than cities like Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Oakland, Milwaukee, Indianapolis…
sorry to say but Officer Ricky Ross is in fact THE BIGGEST FRAUD in HIP HOP HISTORY, Drake not even close that that clown
they wanna link when they got no chunes, they too worried about selling out shoes
Trash
The man’s a jevv, it’s his own people who are the oppressor of all races and nations.
Cool how about the IDF gun violence in Gaza?
Cool, why don’t you get on that one?
Shlomo that u mayb
How about you tell your boy Drake to stop acting like a fake thug and trying to sound “hard” in his songs? It’s very laughable to hear that cornball making gun noises and saying he has “mob ties”. LOL! We don’t believe you, you need more people.
OVO 40, hunched over like he’s 80—Tick.Tick.Tick.- How much time he got, that boy is- Sick.Sick.Sick, I got the devil flow ni**a
Let’s see Drake and Noah “40” Shebib the great human rights activists do a fundraiser to raise awareness on the situation in Gaza *crickets, crickets*
Free Kurdistan!!
