Drake’s ‘Views’ is now available on Apple Music, iTunes

Just a week after the total pop music system meltdown of “Lemonade,” Drake has rolled out a major album of his own.

The rapper’s new album, “Views” (a title truncated from its old, more Toronto-centric “Views From The 6”), was made available on iTunes and Apple Music on Thursday night. The record also streamed live on his show for Apple Music’s Beats 1 station, starting at 10 p.m. EST.

It’s the second time Drake has debuted an album this way (he launched his collaboration with Future, “What A Time to Be Alive,” on the same station in September). The album hits traditional retail at midnight on Friday.

Drake recently previewed the album’s track list, which sports previously released singles “One Dance” and the Jay Z/Kanye West-featuring “Pop Style,” as well as the ubiquitous single “Hotline Bling” as a bonus track.

The Times will have a take on the album soon, but in the meantime, Drake’s upcoming tour with Future has some fairly spectactular merchandise to tide you over.
