Over a year after first teasing it on his radio show, Drake has released his debut book of poetry. Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness is out now via Phaidon. He co-wrote the collection with Kenza Samir, a longtime friend and songwriting collaborator who contributed to albums like Views and If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. The publisher’s website describes Titles Ruin Everything as a 168-page collection of never-before-published poems about “fame, romance, and relationships.”
In newspaper ads promoting Titles Ruin Everything, Drake included a QR code that leads to a website with the following message: “I made an album to go with the book. They say they miss the old Drake girl don’t tempt me. FOR ALL THE DOGS.” No release date is mentioned.
Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage is about to begin later this week on June 29. Drake recently added additional dates to the tour, including stops in new cities like Toronto, Austin, Milwaukee, and Denver as well as extra nights at some of the sold-out locations. In March, Drake fans filed a class-action lawsuit again Ticketmaster, alleging that seat prices for the original run of shows were artificially inflated.
Earlier this month, British rapper J Hus tapped Drake for his new song “Who Told You.” As for his own material, Drake released both Honestly, Nevermind and Her Loss, his collaborative LP with 21 Savage, last year.
