Drake announces 12-track album 'Skeleton King' with lead single featuring Bruno Mars rumored to drop soon

'The 12-track project is based on nearly 20 demos that the rapper wrote during his acting career days'

After breaking the record for the most top 10 singles in the history of the US Billboard chart and overtaking the previous record-holder Madonna, Drake recently announced the arrival of his latest album, 'Skeleton King'. Along with the name, it was also revealed that the album will be a 12-track project and will be released on August 28.

Earlier this month, the four-time Grammy winner took to his Instagram story to reveal an 80 percent completion of the album. Later, Drake's long time collaborator and producer, Boi-1da, tweeted that the album has reached 90% completion. The Toronto producer's site took to Twitter to share the news.

Now more recently, spilling the beans, Pop Crave tweeted, "@Drake announce his new album, ‘Skeleton King’ will be released on August 28th. The 12-track project is based on nearly 20 demos that the rapper wrote during his acting career days." Spilling some more beans about the lead single of the album, Pop Crave tweeted, "According to reliable sources from ATRL, @Drake lead single featuring @BrunoMars, 'HUMANIST' will be released on August 14th along with the music video. This will serve as the lead single for his upcoming album 'Skeleton King'." Pop Crave is a Twitter news account that prides itself on being the first to share celebrity updates.

As the news about his latest album dropped in, fans got all excited hearing the name 'Skeleton King' and said, "Skeleton king is a hard a** album name, it's a classic already." while another user said, "......I'm already obsessed omg."

While some even called it, a birthday gift, as one user said, "Hold up that’s my birthday..@Drake really giving me a birthday present!!" and another one said, "he’s releasing just in time for my birthday. I’m so ready jimmy @Drake." And some said that August is the music month of 2020, "NOW DRAKE! August is the month of music," said one user.

Another super excited user, said, "What are skeletons symbolic of? Death. He is the "Death King" because his music entraps you in sin. He is the "King of the Dead" because his music basically caters to the walking dead...the ones who don't have Jesus Christ"

Drake hasn't spoken much about his album recently but back in April, he discussed new music with Diddy, saying he's been working on his next album for some time now: “I’m working on the album, I’ve been working on it for a while now. Another silver lining is, when God does get you to sit down. I remember the last time I had to sit down was when I tore my ACL. And I made a great album out of that. Obviously, God has us all inside the house right now sitting down, so the amount of focus I’m able to put into this album is probably way different than it would’ve been if I had to go through the residency in Vegas and be able to go meet up with Justin in Miami or whatever. Saying that this is the most excited I’ve been about an album in a long time. A lot of little stuff has been trickling out, but all the stuff on the album is fresh, is brand new, and I’m excited. This is probably the most music I’ve been sitting on. I’m hyped."
