Drake’s recent output around the ICEMANtrilogy has begun to spill into a broader Toronto-centered collaboration, this time involving veteran artist K-OS. The Canadian musician is working on a new album with Drake set to serve as executive producer. The project quietly extends Drake’s long-running role in shaping music tied to his hometown. Details remain limited publicly for now, as reported.
The report surfaced online after posts from Twitter user keep6ixsolid, who shared comments attributed to Amir Ali following a conversation with K-OS. In an account, K-OS described receiving financial backing and creative encouragement tied to Drake’s support. According to K-OS, Drake told him, “I’m going to give you this money to go make a record. But please make a K-OS record.”
K-OS later reflected on the experience, noting how revisiting earlier stages of an artist’s work can reshape perspective. “Sometimes it takes your younger brother or someone who was witnessing you more in that stage of, ‘Oh my God, you’re amazing,’ for them to point out things you were doing that you forgot about,” K-OS added. No further details available yet.

Drake and K-OS collaborated in the 2010s, a period that helped establish mutual creative respect between the two artists. More recently, Drake’s relationship with Toronto has drawn mixed public commentary. He’s not as popular as y’all think, by the way, and “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto.”
Despite differing interpretations, Drake’s ties to Toronto continue to remain a central part of his public identity. Mayor Olivia Chow has also expressed support for his cultural contributions to the city. The collaboration with K-OS adds another chapter to that ongoing relationship between artist and hometown. More updates are expected as the project develops. No official timeline yet announced.
