Nonstop

About this song

Drake's second collaboration with producer Tay Keith, following their earlier work on "Look Alive" in early 2018. Keith's instrumental samples the chorus of the 1995 track "My Head Is Spinnin'" by Memphis artists Mack Daddy Ju and DJ Squeeky, and a lyric from the song was teased on the Scorpion billboards released ahead of the album. The music video was released on July 27, 2018, exactly four weeks after Scorpion, and was first available exclusively on Apple Music for a week.

What it's about

The song has Drake flexing his skills as a rapper and showing the business moves made behind the scenes of his music. Its flow carries a distinct Memphis influence.
