Long before Drake ruled hip-hop, K-OS was his Canadian idol and early collaborator. Now, the 6ix God is returning the favor—reportedly executive producing K-OS’s upcoming album. According to the 54-year-old legend, Drake handed him a bag with a simple request: “Make a K-OS record.” The gesture reignites a bond rooted in mutual respect, with K-OS crediting the younger star for reminding him of his own forgotten brilliance. Their history includes collabs like “Faith” and years of creative and financial support. While release details remain scarce, this move proves Drake isn’t just the city’s superstar—he’s a hometown hero who lifts legends. Even Toronto’s mayor backs him. For fans, this collaboration promises to keep Toronto hip-hop thriving and deeply authentic.
Before Drake was the face of Toronto hip-hop, K-OS was one of his inspirations and early collaborators as a Canadian legend.
Drake just dropped his new ICEMAN trilogy, and he’s already taking the next step for another major Toronto hip-hop release. Canadian legend K-OS is dropping a new album in the future. The 6ix God will reportedly executive produce the project.
As caught by keep6ixsolid on Twitter, Amir Ali reportedly got in contact with the 54-year-old icon, who spoke about getting a bag from the OVO mogul. According to K-OS, The Boy basically said, “I’m going to give you this money to go make a record. But please make a K-OS record.”
“Sometimes it takes your younger brother or someone who was witnessing you more in that stage of, ‘Oh my God, you’re amazing,’ for them to point out things you were doing that you forgot about,” the Toronto native reportedly added. As far as a release timeline or other details, fans are still pretty in the dark.
For those unaware, Drake and K-OS have various collabs. They specifically worked together on the latter’s “Faith” part one and two tracks in the early 2010s. Beyond that, they have shown each other a lot of creative and financial support and admiration, a dynamic that will hopefully yield even more great music coming soon.
