Drake
The superstar rapper's mysterious new project is set to drop on Sept. 15.
Drake has shared another teaser for his mysterious new project, Fear of Missing Out.
On Saturday (Sept. 12), the 39-year-old rap superstar took to social media to share a 25-second video captioned, “a not so short film.”
“Scored by the family,” the caption on Instagram continues, noting a Sept. 15 release date.
In the clip, a neon green speedboat glides across the water with a cityscape in the distance, while Drake appears to be behind the wheel.
“What if I told you there were two versions of your life?” a female narrator says. “In one, you avoid risk and withhold love. You feel like you’ve gone missing from yourself. You look for something you can’t find. In the other version of your life, you find it.”
The trailer closes with a black-and-white poster for Fear of Missing Out.
The 6 God first rolled out FOMO in early September, when he announced plans for a YouTube livestream scheduled for Sept. 15 at 9 p.m. ET. Following the initial tease, some fans speculated that the cryptic project could be new music, a video or possibly a tour.
Drake made history in May with the release of ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, becoming the first artist to simultaneously hold the top three spots on the Billboard 200.
“Janice STFU” became the 14th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit of Drizzy’s career, breaking a tie with Michael Jackson and giving the Toronto MC the most No. 1 hits among male soloists. He also charted a record-high 42 songs on the chart in a single week.
ICEMAN debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving Drake his 15th chart-topping album and moving him past Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums among rappers. The album has continued its strong run, spending a career-best 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart.
