Fresh off the release of his fourth studio album, Views, it’s about that time that Drake kicks the promotional train into motion, not that he really needs it. Being one of the most anticipated albums that 2016 has seen, the rapper is already shaping up to debut with over 1 million SPS. Looking ahead, Drake is aiming to keep the momentum going and maintain focus on his new record as it was just announced moments ago that Drizzy will serve as the musical guest and host for “Saturday Night Live.”

In recent years, it’s always been hilarious to see Drake put on his acting chops in exchange of his normal music “persona.” With a little over a week until the show airs, Drake will fit right in with the funny nature that the comedy show continues to bring. With an upcoming U.S. tour slated to kick off in several weeks, now is definitely the perfect time to hit a conventional promo trail in support of Views. With the world pretty much at his feet, Drake is effortlessly soaking in all the attention. Airing on May 14th, we all will be tuned in to see what he delivers.
