More Life

A day before his birthday on October 24, 2016, Drake went on OVO Sound Radio to announce a new project while also premiering four new songs, “Wanna Know (Remix),” “Fake Love,” “Two Birds, One Stone,” and “Sneakin'” (feat. 21 Savage).

Drake described the project as “a playlist with all original music.” When asked by Billboard why Drake refers to the project as a playlist, frequent collaborator Nineteen85 responded:

More Life is interesting because this is him right on the peak of his biggest project yet [with Views], doing his biggest tour and still having so many good ideas that he just wants to put out without making it a big ordeal. That’s why he’s trying to call it a playlist because he has a bunch of people in a space, hanging out… He’s so aware of what everybody else is doing musically that he likes to introduce new music and new artists to the rest of the world.

Drizzy also hinted that there would possible features from fellow OVO members and that it would be released sometime in December. “More Life” is a Jamaican slang, made popular by dancehall artist Vybz Kartel.

Drake premiered the playlist on episode 39 of OVO Sound Radio on March 18, 2017, at 3:00 PM (PDT)/ 10:00 PM (GMT). While the episode was still running More Life another time, the playlist was released on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and other streaming clients.
