took New York City on a “journey” through his career at the historic Apollo Theater Saturday night, with help from 21 Savage and Harlem legends the Diplomats.
The first act of the show was decidedly downtempo, with Drake pulling out less radio-friendly ballads “Over My Dead Body” and “Trust Issues,” as well as the fan-favorite feeler “Marvin’s Room.” No time was wasted, with Drake sliding out of most songs after just one verse and a chorus. In fact, there were entire stretches of the show packed with No. 1 songs, from “God’s Plan” to “One Dance” to “In My Feelings.” It’s easy to forget how many hits Drake has until you see a crowd sing back nearly every word to a 40-song set that didn’t even bother to include “Nice for What,” “Hotline Bling,” “Toosie Slide” or “Popstar.”
Then, blasting from the past to the present, Drake brought out 21 Savage for a slew of songs from their 2022 collaborative effort “Her Loss.” Standing in front of a giant neon Apollo sign, the duo traded verses on “Rich Flex,” “Privileged Rappers,” “Knife Talk” and “Jimmy Cooks.” In between songs, they teased a joint tour this year, with Drake saying, “We’re gonna be out on the road this summer.” He also assured fans that he’s not going away any time soon, hinting at a 2023 solo album.
