Late Thursday night, Drake dropped a secret, surprise album on an Internet that was pretty unsuspecting [despite several hints](http://time.com/3709052/review-drake-if-youre-reading-this-its-too-late/). 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.
