Canadian Rapper, Drake appreciate Wizkid and Tekno for inspiring his new album ‘Scorpion’

We reported earlier today that Canadian rapper,Drake, released his new album ‘Scorpion’ today and guess artistes who inspired him? Wizkid and Tekno.

Shortly after his album was released, Drake took to his Insta-story to share Tekno’s Jogodo & Wizkid’s Soco cover, alongside that of other artistes who inspired him. Here are they below;In the lead-up to Scorpion, Drake’s just-released double-sided album, there was much speculation aboutthe meaning behind the title.

The clues led to… astrology (Drake is a Scorpion). But the title also suggested that Drake, who’d been embroiled in a fiery beefwith Pusha-T, was prepared to sting. Now that the album is here, though, it seems that, above all, Drizzy was inspired by a scorpion’s color palette: The albumis shades of grey, making it feel like a spiritual sequel to 2016’s Views.

It is slow Drake, moody Drake, minimalist Drake. For the most part, the musicblends in with its surroundings—which is to say, it fades into the background, becoming a petty and self-serious sort of white noise.The album is Drake’s first project since 2017’s More Life, whichhe billed as a playlist.

It’s his first album since 2016’s commercially successful but critically panned Views. The difference between an album and a mixtape or playlist is unclear, but it’s a distinction Drake takes pains to make.On his Mariah Carey-sampling song “Emotionless,” Drake addresses Pusha-T’s “Story of Adidon” accusations of Drake fathering and hiding a child. “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,” he raps. He continues: “Breaking news in my life I don’t run to the blogs/the only ones I want to tell are in my phone I can call/They always ask, ‘Why let it run if it’s false’/You know a wise man once said nothing at all.

”He more directly addresses that he’s a father on the album’s final track, “March 14”:Yesterday morning was crazy, I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybeThat shit is in stone, sealed and signedShe not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kidis mineSandy used to tell me all it takes is one time,and all it took was one timeShit, we only met two times, two times! And both times were nothing like the new timesNow it’s rough timesI’m out here on frontlines, trying to make sure that I see him sometimes It’s breaking my spirit Single father, I hate when I hear itI used to challenge my parents on every albumNow I’m embarrassedto tell ’em I ended up as a co-parentAlways promised the family unitI wanted it to be different because I been through it, but this is the harsh truth now.
