![]() On his Beats 1 program, OVO Sound Radio, Drake premiered his latest project, let’s call it - More Life - on Saturday. If you let him tell it, Drake is not a rapper, and his latest batch of music is neither mixtape nor album. “The only category that they can manage to fit me in is in a rap category, maybe because I’ve rapped in the past or because I’m black.” It’s nitpicking, perhaps, but the distinction speaks to Drake’s grand design of global dominance, which has always been a pop quest. “I’m apparently a rapper, even though ‘Hotline Bling’ is not a rap song,” he told DJ Semtex in a video interview for BBC Radio 1Xtra. He did speak on his wins, though, in rather unceremonious terms. ![]() “Hotline Bling” won Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards, which Drake didn’t even bother to attend.
