According to this April 2015 profile on Four Pins, there were two finished songs Drake liked for Views, which included a Bey collaboration and another that he expected to “inspire a paradigm shift,” which calls to mind the game-changing and permanently viral “Hotline Bling.” Refer to the leaks though and the features list includes the late rapper Pimp C, Popcaan and (if it counts) Amber Rose, whose Instagram soundbite was sampled on “Faithful.” There was also this little number called “Can I” featuring Beyonce, which leaked in May 2015 only to appear on the Oct. Toronto rapper SAFE has also been snapped in the studio with the rap king. Based on that criteria, collaborators automatically include Jay Z (who offered two bars for “Pop Style,” starting rumors that an extended version is appearing on Hov’s streaming service Tidal), Kanye West, songstress Kyla and Nigerian artist Wizkid. Per iTunes, “0 to 100/ The Catch Up,” “Hotline Bling” “Summer Sixteen,” “Pop Style” and “One Dance” mark the only Drake releases without a body of work attached since his last studio effort, the 2015 joint Future project What a Time to Be Alive.

With Drake’s OVO Sound radio station on Beats 1 (which spotlights under-the-radar acts with a moody, genre-blending aesthetic sprinkled with occasional dancehall and trap gems bubbling up on the Internet), it’s only right that Views will reportedly be available on Apple Music for a week exclusively after its April 29 debut, according to Forbes. ( Billboard has reached out to an Apple rep for comment.)

Drake delivered his release date with a montage of his personal highlights on Twitter with the date “4/29/16,” an important iCal note for the OVO Hive.Ĥ/29/16 #VIEWS /kHa2rerRyV
