Tomorrow (October 6), Drake is slated to release his eighth solo album, For All The Dogs. The superstar’s first full length since mid-2022’s Honestly Nevermind is promoted in signature Drake fashion, with a time-stamp song arriving days before the OVO LP.
“8am In Charlotte” follows catalog gems such as “4pm In Calabasas” and “5am In Toronto.” This time, Drizzy links with Grammy Award-winning producer Conductor Williams—an artist known for his extensive work with Griselda Records artists including Westside Gunn, Mach-Hommy, and Rome Streetz—as well as an acclaimed work on Tyler, The Creator’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST album.
Atop the video posted to the artist’s socials, Drake interviews his son, Adonis. It features the child artist describing a drawing of an animal—eventually revealed to be a goat, running away from “monsters and animals” out to get him. The sequence is rife with symbolism—with Drake as the G.O.A.T. and his enemies being creatures nipping at his heels. Conductor’s piano-based production begins, and listeners are treated to a stream of conscious from one of Rap’s reigning greats.
