Right now, Drake is basically running the world after the release of the ridiculously dominant new album Scorpion. He's got the #1 song in the country, and he's got it with a song that never even got an official single release. But in the week after Scorpion came out, the song that made it all the way up to #2 was the hard, nasty rap anthem "Nonstop." The song is a collaboration with BlocBoy JB producer Tay Keith, and it works as a pastiche of, and a love letter to, Drake's beloved Memphis rap. I'd probably argue that it's the best song on the album. And now it's got a video.
For the past few months, Drake has been on a ridiculous music-video hot streak, with director Karena Evans' high-concept insta-viral clips for "God's Plan," "Nice For What," and "I'm Upset." The "Nonstop" video isn't one of those. It's a relatively cheap and low-frills life-on-the-road video. But because it's a Drake video in 2018, it's still plenty larger-than-life.
Drake filmed the "Nonstop" video in London, and it opens with footage of his surprise set at the Wireless Fest. Later on, he spends time at a club, drinks tea on a rooftop, and rides through town atop a double decker bus. Quavo, French Montana, and Noah "40" Shebib get in cameos. (I think O.T. Genasis is in there somewhere, too, but I'm not sure.) Watch the video below.
