Drake shows off his enormous residence in new “Toosie Slide” visual
The Canadian superstar develops a new dance for the year.
We knew this was coming. Following a teaser reveal via social media influencer Toosie, fans were waiting for the release of a new song from Drake that involved a new dance of some sort, a formula that was sure to land the Canadian star at the top of the charts once again. Today, that song has arrived — Drake has released his new single titled “Toosie Slide,” obviously named after the aforementioned Instagram and Tik-Tok star.
The song is produced by OZ and sees Drake keeping things very simple with his infectious, melodic catchphrases:
“Baby, don’t you wanna dance with me? No?/
I could dance like Michael Jackson, I could give you satisfaction/
And you know we out here every day with it, I’ma show you how to get it/
It go right foot up, left foot, slide Left foot up, right foot, slide/
Basically, I’m sayin’, either way, we ‘bout to slide, can’t let this one slide…/”
The song comes with an accompanying visual courtesy of Theo Skudra, which shows Drake taking us on a tour inside — and outside — of his enormous mansion, which boasts a lot of unique paintings, a vast awards collection, KAWS figurines and more. The clip ends with a big fireworks display, a perfect ending to what amounts to the biggest “MTV Cribs” episode ever.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Toosie broke down how the collaboration of sorts came to fruition:
“Drake hit me up and was like, ‘Yo, I need your help…’ So he sends the record. It was just an idea at the time. It was just the hook and a verse. I came up with this dance. [Drake said,] ‘What you think? You think you can come up with a dance for this song that I made?’ So I sit down, listen to it. Luckily, I’m at [fellow social media stars] Ayo and Teo’s house with Hiii Key and all of us. We all chilling. We came up with it pretty fast. We just all pieced it together. We all contributed.”
Press play on “Toosie Slide” below, which is available on all major streaming platforms. Hopefully, a new album from Drake is on the horizon.
