Late Thursday night, Drake dropped a secret, surprise album on an Internet that was pretty unsuspecting despite several hints. It’s a collection of 17 tracks called If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. The album includes appearances from acts like PARTYNEXTDOOR, Travi$ Scott and, of course, Drake’s frequent collaborator Lil Wayne.
Here, a look back at some of the other musicians Drake has collaborated with over the years.
