Drake’s 2021 campaign became one of the biggest stories in hip-hop. After months of teasing Certified Lover Boy, the Toronto superstar delivered one of the year’s highest-selling albums while continuing his dominance through chart-topping singles, surprise releases and blockbuster collaborations.

Aswehiphop has consistently documented Drake’s music journey over the years. Following our coverage of Scorpion, this page serves as the complete archive of every official Drake song, album release and guest feature throughout 2021.

Outside his solo releases, he remained one of the most featured artists in hip-hop, collaborating with Nicki Minaj, Migos, Young Thug, Brent Faiyaz, Smiley, Trippie Redd, Majid Jordan and several others.
