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.

Billboard Canada 2025 Power Players List Revealed

By Richard Trapunski, Rosie Long Decter, Peony Hirwani, Stefano Rebuli and Heather Taylor-Singh

Billboard Canada Power Players is back for a second year, and it comes at a pivotal time for Canadian music. Canadian Content regulations – a principle that built the domestic industry – are up for review for the first time in a generation, with ongoing hearings taking place with the CRTC. The Online Streaming Act, meanwhile, is attempting to regulate major foreign streaming services to contribute to CanCon as the CRTC once did for radio, but companies like Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music aren't taking it without a fight.

Those issues shadow the industry, which has both struggles and successes. The country was recently named the 8th largest music market in the world by the IFPI and Toronto has emerged as a marquee live music market. That's been reflected in the successes and investments in new venues by companies like Live Nation Canada, MLSE and Oak View Group, though some festivals and promoters outside of their orbit have gone public with their own struggles.
