Son, Adonis, drew the album cover for Drake’s ‘For All The Dogs’.

Drake’s ‘For All The Dogs’ album cover was drawn by his son, Adonis.

Regardless, we’re sure that For All The Dogs will follow the rest of Drake’s discography quite fittingly. If it’s more R&B-based, then it would mark a stark difference from his previous dance outing (Honestly, Nevermind) and his trap-rooted collaboration with 21 S*vage (Her Loss). On the other hand, fans still want more of the gritty and boisterous OVO boss material that projects like the latter exemplified so well. Either way, it’s exciting to know that we’re officially closer to the album’s release than we’ve ever been.

OVO Sound’s official accounts also posted the art, all but confirming this is the final cover and the For All the Dogs train is running full speed ahead.

The new cover continues a few traditions from Drake’s history of unpredictable album art: a hand-drawn aesthetic (If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late), themed around a very young Graham (Nothing Was the Same), and bringing one of Drake’s family members into the fold (More Life, featuring a vintage Dennis Graham photo).

Adonis’ art has made its way to the internet before, including some Father’s Day work he did as a 1-year-old and a painting session with his mother, Sophie Brussaux, last year.

Furthermore, the cover is an outline of an animal- probably a dog, obviously, but vague and unique enough to be open to interpretation- on a black background. The outline’s filled out by imperfect white strokes, and the four-legged and long-eared creature’s only defining features are its menacing red eyes. As such, this hints at a harder, more aggressive, or downright scary sound from Drake this time around. Previous reports, though, indicated that we might get the old Drizzy on this project with a more R&B-oriented focus.
