- The rapper first announced the project on June 24.
Drake is currently gearing up for the release of his eighth solo studio album "For All the Dogs" — and it could be here as soon as next month.
The "Rich Flex" rapper announced the project in late June.
During the Brooklyn leg of his It's All a Blur Tour last week, Drake told a capacity crowd at the Barclays Center that "For All the Dogs" would drop in "a couple of weeks."
Here's everything we know about the hotly anticipated album so far.
Drake first teased "For All the Dogs" in January.
Fresh off the November release of his collaborative album with 21 Savage, "Her Loss," Drake alluded to the fact he was already working on a new album during a show at the Apollo in New York City on January 21.
"I've thought about a bunch of things in life, but at this moment in time, none of those things are stopping making music for you, so I'll be here for you for a little bit at least," Drake said during the show, according to USA Today.
"I hope I can strike up some more emotions for you — maybe this year, I might get bored and make another one, who knows?" he added.
He officially announced the album in June.
Drake announced "For All the Dogs" just hours after announcing the release of his first poetry book, "Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness," on June 24.
The 36-year-old superstar took out full-page advertisements in major outlets like the New York Post and Los Angeles Times to promote his poetry collection, and the adverts contained a QR code leading to the website titlesruineverything.com, where he announced his next album.
The website comprises just one page that reads: "I made an album to go with the book. They say they miss the old Drake girl don't tempt me. FOR ALL THE DOGS."
Details of the project remain scarce.
Since announcing the album, Drake has kept mostly quiet about its content. He's not released a track list, nor has he confirmed an official release date.
Instead, he's regularly been sharing pictures of dogs and dog memorabilia on his Instagram stories.
Recently, he's also been seen in public wearing various dog masks, including a bulldog mask that he wore while out and about in New York City on Saturday.
But Drake has confirmed that it will feature Nicki Minaj.
During a show in Detroit on July 8, Drake revealed to the crowd that "For All the Dogs" will feature a track with long-time friend and collaborator Nicki Minaj.
The two have previously worked together on a number of hit songs, including 2011's "Moment 4 Life."
"I'm gonna give away one thing for you tonight because I got a lot of love for Detroit," he said, according to NME. "So I'm gonna have to tell you that me and Nicki Minaj did our first song together in, like, a really long time. I got a lot of love for her."
At the same show, Drake also revealed that "For All the Dogs" is being mixed by music producer Noah "40" Shebib, who has produced many of the rapper's biggest hits.
