10 years ago today, Drake released 'VIEWS' 🦉
It remains the last rap album to debut with over 1 MILLION units in its first week and currently sits at over 12 BILLION streams on Spotify.
"The album is based around the change of the seasons in our city. It starts out in the wintertime... Winter to summer and back to winter again. It's just to show you the two extreme moods that we have. We're grateful for our summers but we also make our winters work... You start to value your days a lot more when most people won't go outside type of thing... It creates a different person. I thought it was important to make the album here during the winter." — Drake
