OneRepublic; Drake; and Kanye West release new albums as Summer 2021 ends

In the past two weeks, OneRepublic released their new album titled 'Human.' Kanye West released his new album titled 'Donda'; on August 29. Kanye West's new album is #1 already. Drake released 'Certified LoverBoy' album on September 3. The album has twenty one great songs on it. Twenty-One Savage and other distinguished hip-hop artists are featured on Drake's new album. Going back to Kanye, he wants to change his name to Ye only. In the past six weeks, Kanye was living in Atlanta's Mercedes Benz stadium. Jay-Z and other cool hip-hop artists including the Weeknd are featured, on Kanye's new album. With his 10th chart-topping album, West once again ties Eminem for the most No. 1 debuts in a row. 'Donda' is at the top of the charts with 309,000 equivalent album units. West is one of only seven artists in chart history to release 10 chart-topping albums. Next, Drake's new album became a best-seller on Amazon. Certified LoverBoy became Spotify's most streamed album in a single day on September 3, 2021. Apple Music said Certified LoverBoy was the service's biggest ever album debut. Kawhi Leonard made a cool cameo in 'way 2 sexy' video; and the two time NBA world champion came through. Billboards across the U.S. appear to be teasing the names of Drake's features. Also, ESPN hinted at Drake's new album in a cryptic ad recently. In contrast, OneRepublic released their first new album, 'Human'; in five years. The album is a deluxe album, with sixteen tracks. Ryan Tedder is the lead singer of the group. He has written songs for Beyonce, U2, Paul McCartney, etc. Recently, Tedder sold his song catalogue for $276 million. KKR is Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and they are a huge US private equity firm that bought the song catalogue. In this penultimate paragraph, let's talk about the net worth of these huge mega-artists. Kanye West has a net worth of $1.8 billion. Drake has released numerous hit songs and launched several businesses that have earned him more than $430 million. Drake founded OVO, known as October's Very Own; which is his very successful record label. Ryan Tedder owns a slate of commercial real estate properties across the country alongside venture-capital investments, in companies like salad chain Sweetgreen and Masterclass-style content company Monthly.com. Since 2013, Drake is a global ambassador of the NBA's Toronto Raptors. In closing, see the picture above in Houston. The hometown hero is most likely Travis Scott, in reference of that massive billboard. Drake's cover of the album is meme inspiring, to say the least. Enjoy listening to all three new albums, as Summer 2021 comes to an end.
