Last year, Drake dropped his highly-anticipated eighth studio album ‘For All The Dogs’. NME gave the record two stars, writing: “Lack of quality control on a Drake album is no new news. Latter-day Drizzy records have often been criticised for being stuffed full of filler as a way of maximising streaming figures and spamming the Top 100, and unfortunately nothing’s changed here.”
The ‘It’s All A Blur – Big As What?’ tour was announced in light of Cole and Drake’s successful ‘For All The Dogs’ collaboration, ‘First Person Shooter’. Following the news of the song topping the Billboard Hot 100, the latter unveiled the dates for the 22-stop North American excursion.
The longtime friends have performed together before. Last summer, Drake and ‘Her Loss’ collaborator 21 Savage embarked on the history-making ‘It’s All A Blur’ tour, which ended up becoming the highest-grossing rap tour of all time. At the Montreal stop – due to Savage’s immigration issues that are now resolved – J. Cole stepped in and opened for the Canadian.
In 2021, Cole released his latest album ‘The Off-Season’. NME awarded three stars, saying the record “is a little bit off in places and its steadiness can be one-note, but it’s still a strong piece technically.”
Drake has recently made headlines after Yasiin Bey called him a “pop” star whose music is “compatible with shopping.”
