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.

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
