As he promised last night during a surprise appearance at a Majid Jordan concert in Toronto, Drake has released his latest single, “Nice For What.” He also pulled the trigger on the song’s new Karena Evans-directed video, which was published to the OVO Sound YouTube channel. It pays tribute to women from various walks of life including Yara, Issa Rae, Michelle Rodriguez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rashida Jones, Olivia Wilde, and more.
Evans is a 22-year-old director from Toronto and first female recipient of Canada’s music video direction honour, The Lipsett Prize.
The song samples Lauryn Hill and is available now on Apple Music.
The song samples Hill’s song “Ex-Factor” off the 1998 album, The Miseducaton of Lauryn Hill. It was produced by Murda Beatz.
Along with announcing the release of the new single, Drizzy also revealed that he was back in Toronto to complete his next album.
Check out the single and video below, and look out for that new project on the way.
