Two iconic Mississauga buildings are the backdrop for Drake’s upcoming album with PartyNextDoor, entitled, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U.
The album cover art was released on Tuesday and shows Drake and PartyNextDoor standing in the snow, rocking oversized fur coats – with the Absolute Condo Towers, also known as the Marilyn Monroe Towers, looming in the background.
The teaser debuted on Instagram, and gives recognition to the hometown of Jahron Anthony Brathwaite — also known as PartyNextDoor. The Grammy nominated artist grew up in Mississauga and attended the Applewood Heights Secondary School before pursuing music.
The long-awaited collaborative project is set to release on Valentine’s Day, and the duo, who have worked on individual songs together in the past including, “Over Here”, “Recognize”, “Come and See Me” and “Loyal” are known for their strong musical chemistry.
Fans are showing excitement on social media amid the release of the album cover.
“Wow what a cover! Sauga is getting love!” one user said on Instagram.
“Hardest album cover 🔥🔥🔥” another user said.
“This cover art is giving major 80s R&B vibes. Can’t wait to hear what these two cooked up together!” a user on X said.
“Is it just me, or does the ‘$OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U’ cover art perfectly capture the Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR vibe?” another user asked.
$OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U marks Drake’s first full-length release since his high-profile clash with Kendrick Lamar made headlines last year.
PND revealed the album will have 15 songs although the majority of the tracklist and guest features have yet to be released.
