Drake is about to crossover into the literature space after announcing his first poetry book is on the way. 

On Friday, the 6 God took to his Instagram with an announcement that he'll drop his very first book. According to Drizzy's post, the book comes with a blue cover with a title that reads "Titles Ruin Everything a Stream of Consciousness by Kenza Samir & Aubrey Graham."

Fans looking to get their hands on Drake's first book will get a chance when it releases on Saturday on his merchandise site drakerelated.com, and other select retailers. There's no price tag on the book as of press time.  

"I don't know if I have ever wanted people to buy or support something more in my life…our first book is available tmrw on @drakerelated and other select retailers," Drake captioned his post. 

News of Drake dropping a poetry book made rounds back in 2022 during an episode of his SiriusXM radio show, Table for One. The now 36-year-old revealed he would release a poetry book while celebrating the release of his seventh studio album, Honestly, Nevermind.

"Me and Kenzo have a book coming out this year—yeah, we have a book coming out this year, a poetry book," Drake said at the time. "So I hope you guys tune into that too ‘cause that’s gonna be some shit."

Drake continued by teasing the release of another Scary Hours project.

"I got another Scary Hours pack coming too, in a little bit. Maybe not right now; I need you to just take this in right now," he said. "But I have a Scary Hours—I’m gonna slap some head tops off with the Scary Hours pack. I love this shit.”

Drizzy's new book comes after he's been on quite the run with merchandise drops. Recently, the Toronto megastar released a "Hotline Bling"-themed pool float and beach towel, which came a month after he collaborated with The Elder Statesman for an exclusive Air Drake drop that included a pair of cashmere socks that cost $415.

In 2021, he also launched his luxury candle company Better World Fragrance House. The company currently sells five different scents: Good Thoughts, Muskoka, Sweeter Tings, Williamsburg Sleepover, and his signature scent, Carby Musk.
