OVO Sound leader Drake really has a soft spot for London. The hip-hop superstar made sure to flex his love last night (February 16) for the United Kingdom’s hot spot.
According to reports, the 6 God came through for a party-filled Thursday night at various popular London spots.
Drake’s been over there for a bunch of shows — including a 2 night sold-out run at the 20k capacity O2 Arena. Thursday night though he rolled up to XOYO club, which only holds 800, and hopped onstage. The only people on the bill were Toronto rapper Smoke Dawg and UK rhymer Nafe Smallz … so ticket holders got a sweet deal! Drizzy kept his rager going later at Paper nightclub. He also grabbed the mic there and dropped about $30k on vodka and Dom for his crew. (TMZ)

Recently, Drake announced he had nearly completed his upcoming More Life album.
“I’m excited because I’m about like a week and a half, two weeks away from finishing this project I’m working on called More Life. So you know what that means right? All that means is, I get to drop a new project.”

Last month, producer Nineteen85 promised More Life would live up to its hype.
“More Life is interesting because this is [Drake] right on the peak of his biggest project yet [with Views], doing his biggest tour and still having so many good ideas that he just wants to put out without making it a big ordeal,” he explains. “That’s why he’s trying to call it a playlist because he has a bunch of people in a space, hanging out…. He’s so aware of what everybody else is doing musically that he likes to introduce new music and new artists to the rest of the world.” (Billboard)
