Not up to 24 hours after Canadian rapper Drake, who went back to
his native city to finish up work on his next album, told a Toronto audience
that he was dropping a new single the following night, the star delivered on
his promise with a new song Nice For What with
an accompanying star-studded video.

Nice For What,
which was directed by Karena Evans, features actresses Zoe Saldana, Tiffany
Haddish, Olivia Wright, Black Panther star
Letitia Wright, Michelle Rodriguez, Olivia Wilde, Insecure’s Issa Rae, Black-ish’s Tracee Ellis
Ross, Rashida Jones and Emma Roberts, singer Syd, ballet star Misty Copeland
and Drake himself who is seen dancing along in the video.
Produced by Noah “40” Shebib and Murda Beatz, the new track
samples Lauryn Hill’s Ex Factor. Drake mentioned earlier in March that he
was working on a song that made use of the track titled The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
The rapper had also sampled Hill’s Doo Wop (That Thing) for his
one-off 2014 single Draft Day.
More Life (2017),
the proper follow-up to Views (2016), is a mixtape that served to bridge
the gap between limited playlists. Drake previously previewed the forthcoming
album with his Scary
Hours EP featuring Diplomatic Immunity and the Hot
100-dominating God’s
Plan.
