Drake is teasing the visual component to his latest and fourth studio album, Views, on his Instagram account Sunday night.

The Toronto rapper is midway through his Summer Sixteen Tour with Future—alongside OVO Sound labelmates dvsn and Roy Woods. Titled “Please Forgive Me” the visuals will accompany tracks like “One Dance” and “Child’s Play,” both of which Drake was rumored to be shooting the videos in South Africa and Atlanta, respectively.

Besides its title, details on the project have been scarce.


In 2015, Drake released a short film titled Jungle to preview hits off his If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late mixtape. Since Views dropped in April, he hasn’t released any videos to bring the record to life. The laidback, atmospheric record remained on the Billboard top 200 charts for nine straight weeks since its debut.


“The ‘Childs Play’ video is gonna be epic,” director Spiff TV recently told Billboard. “Drake had the vision and it’s gonna be special. Like the way Michael Jackson used to shoot his videos. Together, we killed the sh**. You’ll be surprised to see the cameo and the lead roles.”
