Toronto hip-hop veteran k-os is preparing his first full-length album in more than a decade, and Drake is helping make it happen.
Last Friday, the artist released his latest single, “Guns & Roses”. The track marks his first new music since “i would never.” and “EUREKA!” earlier this year.
The self-produced track sees the Toronto vet back in full form, rapping in his characteristic rythmic, multi-syllabic rhyme scheme over a reworked groovy latin sample.
According to Complex Canada, Drake is financing the forthcoming album, while Matte Babel, an executive at Drake's entertainment company DreamCrew, is managing the project. The record will be k-os’ first full-length since 2015’s Can’t Fly Without Gravity.
One of the first Canadian rappers to break into the country's mainstream, k-os was one of Drake's early inspirations. The two worked together on “Faith,” which appeared onThe Anchorman Mixtape.
For now, there is no confirmed release date or tracklist for the new album. “Guns & Roses” is the clearest indication yet that k-os is moving toward a full-length return, with Drake backing the project and Babel overseeing its management.
