OVO Sound boss Drake is out here proving his career’s far from over. The hip-hop star’s Scorpion album is currently en route to do monster first-week sales.

According to early estimates, Drake’s LP will stand alone atop the sales competition in week one.

Based on early reads, Scorpion by YMCMB/Republic’s Drake is on track for a record-breaking first week.

Drake (YMCMB/Republic) 870-920k total activity, 275-300k album.

The set, which surpassed 300m worldwide streams within its first 24 hours, has dominated the Spotify (#1-23 of the Top 25 U.S., 18 of the Top 25 Global), Apple Music (all of the Top 25) and iTunes (#1 album and three tracks in the Top 10) charts since its arrival. Spotify and Apple have both given Scorpion primo real estate, with The Spot according it the streamery’s first-ever site takeover. (HITS Daily Double)

A few hours ago, New York rapper Fabolous talked about missing last night’s Scorpion Miami listening party.

Since dropping Friday, Drake’s new album has crushed huge streaming records on Apple Music and Spotify.

On the must-hear LP, Drake hints at his contractual obligation with Cash Money possibly ending.

Birdman was quoted in 2015 telling Angie Martinez that Drake and Nicki Minaj would remain with Cash Money even if Lil Wayne parted ways with the label, but at this point it seems like the Toronto rapper has found a way out. While the exact details aren’t known, the last song on the A-side of Scorpion (“Is There More”) is perfectly clear with the lyrics “Soon as this album drop I’m out of the deal”. (SOHH)
