That’s a reflection of the albums very crew-centric roster of productions and cameos including guest spots from Popcaan, PARTYNEXTDOOR, DVSN, Pimp C (in spiritual essence), Wizkid and Future and production credits from Kanye West, Jordan Ullman of Majid Jordan, Murda Beatz, nineteen85, Southside, Cardo, Sven Thomas, Frank Dukes, Allen Ritter, Daxz, Young Exclusive and Maneesh. The Rihanna feature “Too Good” equally sports a sort of moody ragga soca riddim that sounds like it could have been built by De Tropix or Bruk Up circa Spring 2009.īut that’s probably just me, because though the album’s tempo and vibe feel coherent on first impressions it has a pleasing variety of textures and comes off as thoroughly up to the time. Maybe it’s for that reason that in my initial listen through of the album my ears prick up at multiple audio textures that seem to suggest the dramatic melodies of mid-2000s dancehall and r&b, including the interpolation of Mavado‘s “Dyin'” on the very first track, the word “dyin'” screwed and auto-crooned until it sounds like the “9” of the track title. I am tempted to think the title and theme of this new record are referencing that pivotal moment in his transformation from talented Young Money entourage member into global megastar and one-man industry. The year was 2009 and we were there with his OVO crew ( Olivier, T-Rex and Foots) and photographer Jonathan Mannion during a photo shoot for his very first magazine cover. Fun fact: I’ve been to that restaurant once myself–with Drake.
The cover photo placed at the right hand side, and the sub-album links display set to micro thumbnails, (see Basic settings -> links -> IV: Other links -> Item 12: Album cover subalbums link).Drake delivers his new album Views right on schedule, raining joints down on the masses like he was throwing CDs off the lookout balcony of 360, the restaurant atop Toronto’s CN tower which is pictured in the album’s cover art.
ExamplesĪll examples on this page use 'mcr' cover types. If the display consists out of one album cover only, the max coverwidth restriction is ignored, the cover will fill the whole available width on the page (unless your shortcode contains a size="." specification). Mcr stand for ' Multi Column Responsive'. If you run on a responsive theme and you want the albums to be displayed in multiple columns, select the album type you want with the addition mcr. On responsive themes, this number will be dynamicly adjusted if needed. If done so, wppa will compute how many covers will fit on a row. If you want to display the covers in multiple columns, you can set the maximum width for a cover in Basic settings -> Albums -> I: Album cover size specifications -> Item 1: Max Cover width. You can configure a lot of layout features, like size and position of the cover image, height of the cover, link type from the cover image and much more in Basic settings -> Albums and Basic settings -> Links -> II: Links from standard images -> Item 1: Cover Image.
