Introduction: The Weight of Expectation
In April 2016, Aubrey “Drake” Graham released Views , his fourth studio album, following the commercial juggernaut Nothing Was the Same (2013) and the mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (2015). The album arrived after months of delay, hyped by the viral “Summer Sixteen” single and the promise of a definitive “Toronto sound.” In retrospect, Views is less a cohesive masterpiece than a sprawling, contradictory document of an artist trapped between his own mythology and the relentless demands of pop dominance.
