After a couple of delays, Drake has finally given fans his new album, For All the Dogs. The Canadian rapper released the new album on Friday after the date was pushed back due to clashes with his Its All a Blur Tour. The long-awaited album comes with 23 tracks and a host of featured heavyweight artists including Bad Bunny, J. Cole, 21 Savage and SZA, the latter of whom appears on the track Slime You Out. Drake's release comes the day after he dropped a video for the song 8 am in Charlotte with the help of his five-year-old son Adonis.
