"I want to give you a collection of songs that become the soundtrack to your life," Drake said on his OVO Sound radio show in October. The title comes from a piece of Jamaican slang, popularized by the song "More Life" by dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. As for the sound, judging by the first four singles that may appear on the album, he's pushing more of the same light tropical vibes that slayed on Views and digging back into some of the dark, brooding trap of If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

"I basically asked myself 'What if I did it like OVO Sound Radio but every song was a new Drake song?' It's more like an evolution of a mixtape."
