Hip-hop star Drake has a new album this 2017 and the tracks have been leaked online earlier this month. The new album is called "More Life."

According to XXL Mag, the "Hotline Bling" rapper is about to release another hit this year, which fans should look forward to. This is going to be Drake's 5th album after "Views" and critics are so far already putting a good word to it even before its official release date.

The rapper has quite a reputation for doing more than one project in a year and this time, he is also on tour for his other project, "Boy Meets Girl." There are also reports pertaining to his collaboration with singer, Jennifer Lopez, but both parties have yet to confirm.

Hot New Hip Hop not only confirmed Drake's new tour date this year, which is on Feb. 26, but they also said that the album will be available on Apple Music playlist. The official release date of his new songs is said to be out on of before February ends. The rapper didn't really confirm the date for this but the word is out that it will early this year.

Another information about this new Drake release is that he doesn't want to call it an album. He rather prefers the term "playlist," which is among the reasons its premiere and availability were set on Apple Music as a playlist.

His vision is to have his project as his soundtrack to their lives, which is why he insists in labeling it as a playlist and not as an album or a mixtape. Tracks like "Sneaking" and "Fake Love" will be part of this playlist, which already released on Oct. 23 last year.
