The day has finally come for Drake to officially take over ‘SNL’ in support of his new album, Views. As the album has found itself being one of the most anticipated body of works for Hip-Hop for some time now, it’s only right that Drake is on a mission to help promote the project as much as possible. Topping the charts in its first week, this weekend’s appearance will only extend sales for him.
Already making a few appearances, one of which includes a stop on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show,” Drake’s ‘SNL’ stop has been the talk of social media since the announcement that the rapper would not only serve as a musical guest, but he would also be this week’s host. Taking the duties seriously, the rapper had the internet up in arms due to completely shaving his beard for ‘SNL’ duties, but made note that it would make a comeback in two weeks. Taking on several hilarious moments, thus far into his career, ‘SNL’ will always be a great platform for Drizzy to capitalize from his funny nature. Check out some of his performances and skits, below.
