Diehard Drake fans can rejoice this weekend thanks to a new mobile application geared toward quoting his memorable lines.
A new free app called “Drizzy,” created by developers Luc Succes and Regy Perlera, is now available for iOs-friendly devices.
Drizzy is an app that takes advantage of iOS8’s support for third-party keyboards, and like the emoji keyboard, comes divided into some very Drake-appropriate categories. There’s ‘exes’, ‘feels’, ‘hustle’, ‘hate’, and a random mode if you just feel like quoting him for the hell of it. If you want to let the recipient in on which track the lyric is from, the app will let you share a link to it on Spotify. (Fact Mag)

Aside from the Drizzy app, Drake recently made history on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Thanks to his surprise album If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 28) with 535,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music, Drake has tied a record that stood unmatched for 51 years: He charts 14 songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 7). The sum equals the 14 titles that the Beatles placed on the Hot 100 dated April 11, 1964. (Billboard)
Mass Appeal Records’ Fashawn recently hit up SOHH and gave his take on Drizzy’s ability to release an overnight music project and still be successful.
“I don’t know, it would really be a surprise,” Fashawn told SOHH when asked if he would release an overnight album. “If I ever did do something like that, I’d surprise myself. It would be a huge surprise; I don’t know how I feel about it. I think it’s a really cool idea. I like the spontaneity of it, I think it’s a pretty fly thing. I think you’ve got to be at a certain level in your career to do it. That’s the level I don’t think I am yet but when I get there, you might get a surprise, overnight album from Fash.” (SOHH)
Recently, G-Unit boss 50 Cent said Drake delivered nothing but quality with his new If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late retail release.
“His mixtape reflects that,” 50 said last night about Drake being a fan. “But boy, that nigga was on point, wasn’t he? He came through there with his shit sharp. It was tight. … Look, I don’t have favorite artists, I have favorite moments from artists. Like, ‘Ooh, you ain’t gonna beat him at that, not that, that’s what he do,’ you know what I’m saying? All of us have those moments, I think, but not everybody can appreciate it.” (XXL Mag)
