There’s been an update about the upcoming Drake and PartyNextDoor collab album.

PND hopped on his Instagram Live as he wraps up the European leg of his Sorry I’m Outside Tour and revealed his project with his label boss Drake is nearing the finish line. “Guys, I have one more show on this tour,” he told his followers. “Then the album is getting finished. That’s all I gotta say.” His last show across the pond is tomorrow, Nov. 6 at O2 Academy Brixton in London.


Drake and Party announced their joint album back in August while on stage performing together in Toronto. “I know all you girls are outside,” Drake told the crowd. When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.” Party then said that his favorite songs at the moment were the ones he was making with Drake for their upcoming project, telling Awaiz Punjani, “The one we doing right now – all 15 we doing right now.”

Then, last month, engineer and producer OVONoel called the album “a classic,” during a recent appearance on OVO’s The Fry Yiy Show on SiriusXM. “You guys know what’s coming for you,” he said. “Party and Drake have a classic. We trying to put the finishing touches on it, so… Yeah, it’s a jam-packed month for me filled with the thing that I love to do the most, besides being the world’s greatest dad.”

There’s still no official release date, so stay tuned as we’ll be sure to give you an update.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
