Rapper Drake and his fellow Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer PartyNextDoor took to Instagram on Tuesday, February 11, and jointly unveiled the official cover art for their forthcoming album, SOME S*XY SONGS 4 U.
The artwork showed two individuals, seemingly both the artists, wearing oversized mink coats and posing on a snowy surface. Meanwhile, Absolute World, the condominium twin residential towers from PartyNextDoor’s hometown Mississauga, Ontario, stood tall, behind them.
In the wake of the cover art’s launch, the internet has been having diverse reactions. For instance, X user @pinkthereup commented on Pop Base’s post sharing the same.
