About Certified Lover Boy Album

Certified Lover Boy is the sixth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake, released on September 3, 2021, by OVO Sound and Republic Records. The album’s production was handled by frequent collaborators such as 40, Nineteen85, PartyNextDoor, OZ, and Vinylz, with guest appearances from Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Giveon, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, Yebba, 21 Savage, Project Pat, Tems, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Kid Cudi. It is the first part of a “trilogy” of albums, followed by Honestly, Nevermind and Her Loss (both 2022).

The album primarily focuses on Drake’s views on fame, success, loyalty, romance, feuds, and loneliness. It is mainly a hip-hop record with a hazy atmosphere, blending elements of crunk and trap. Critics found aspects of the album reminiscent of his earlier works such as Thank Me Later (2010), Take Care (2011), and Nothing Was the Same (2013). The album’s artwork, designed by Damien Hirst, features 12 emojis of pregnant women, which sparked controversy.

Certified Lover Boy received mixed reviews, with praise for its structure but criticism regarding its lyrical depth and lack of sonic variety. Despite this, it was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards before Drake withdrew it from consideration. It won Top Rap Album at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

Commercially, the album was a success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 with 613,000 album-equivalent units. It set a record for the largest opening week for an album in 2021 in the US and broke streaming records on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. The lead single, “Way 2 Sexy,” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Drake’s ninth US number-one hit and contributing to the record for the most US top-ten singles from one album (9).
