Drake Plays a New Song at His Barber’s Wedding
There are few relationships more intimate than those between clients and their barbers. It's a vulnerable position--all those razor blades so near your neck and your arteries. This goes double for those tasked with keeping celebrities' hair clean and coiffed for awards shows and photo shoots. So when Drake's barber got married over the weekend, not only was the rapper in attendance, but he gave a speech and debuted what sounds to be a brand-new song. Some have speculated that it could be a remix to Virginia artist D.R.A.M.'s "Cha Cha"--a song that has already been endorsed by none other than Beyonce--but nothing has been confirmed to that effect. Aubrey also gave what attendees said was a heartfelt speech, danced with guests and did everything a good head of hair is supposed to do.
While his monstrous fan base waits for his next solo album, Views From the 6, Drake is still riding the success of his stop-gap February release, If You're Reading This It's Too Late. Dropped without warning online (with deluxe physical copies coming two months after) the song set several streaming records at music giant Spotify and spawned a number of charting hits, including the Three 6 Mafia- and Eazy-E-sampling "Energy." His last official studio set was 2013's Nothing Was the Same, an album that synthesized the rap and R&B songs that had balanced out one another on Take Care. Most recently, Drake was tapped to be a key figure in Sprite's summer campaign, where famous rap lyrics are printed on the side of cans.
