Drake's For All The Dogs album drops tonight.
Judging from the sound of the latest single -- and the behind-the-scenes chatter -- this will be a rap album.
It will also be his third album since September of 2021.

Is that what's going on?
Perhaps not coincidentally, Russ has compared himself to Drake in the past.
"There's one rapper who can f*ck with me and it's Drake. That's it ... No rapper can give you "Losing Control," "MVP" and also "Best On Earth" except Drake and the difference is, I produce this sh*t so that's a whole new level ..." Russ flexed in 2020.
