Drake releases 1st poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything
The Toronto rapper also announced a companion album though no release date has been revealed
Last summer, Drake teased the release of a poetry book on his SiriusXM radio show, Table for One. Now, a full year later, that book has finally been released.
Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness is now out via Phaidon, and it was co-written with Kenza Samir, a longtime collaborator of Drake's, who has had songwriting credits on a number of the Toronto star's songs over the years including "HYFR," "Connect," "Nonstop" and "Weston Road Flows." Phaidon's website describes the 168-page book as "meditations on fame, romance, and relationships," which offer an unfiltered view into Drake's inner world.
When announcing the book this past weekend, Drake wrote on Instagram: "I don't know if I have ever wanted people to buy or support something more in my life."
Drake also promoted his book through newspaper ads in The Toronto Star, New York Post and more, which included a QR code that linked to a website revealing an additional surprise for fans. "I made an album to go with the book," the site reads. "They say they miss the old Drake girl don't tempt me. FOR ALL THE DOGS." No release date was included for the album.
Drake's last album was 2022's Her Loss, a collaborative project with 21 Savage. His last solo release was Honestly, Nevermind, also released in 2022.
