The “Jimmy Cooks” music video from Drake and 21 Savage wasn’t the only gift the rappers gave fans as the latter artist turned 30.
“Her Loss,” the duo’s new joint album, comes out Oct. 28, according to text that appears about 90 seconds into the video.
Drake, 36, previously announced that the arrival of the video for “Jimmy Cooks” would coincide with 21 Savage’s special day, which was Friday, leading some to suspect the “Knife Talk” and “Mr. Right Now” artists were working together on an album, Variety reports.
“Jimmy Cooks” comes from “Honestly, Nevermind,” Drake’s seventh studio album, which was released in June.
During his nearly decade-long run on Canada’s teen hit, “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” Drake portrayed the character Jimmy Brooks, whose name appears to have inspired the title of the track, according to Variety.
So far, Drake and 21 Savage have recorded four tracks together, including “Sneakin’” and “Issa.”
Fans shared their enthusiasm about the upcoming album release.
”A collab album that actually makes sense for once,” tweeted user wowthatshiphop.
”Making a collab album with 21 Savage was the perfect move for Drake to make after H’onestly, Nevermind,’” thoughtfulbae enthused.
