Drake recently published his debut poetry collection, and he came up with an interesting way to promote it. The Canadian rapper announced he’ll release a new album For All the Dogs to go along with his first book.

Drake co-wrote his first poetry book Titles Ruin Everything, A Stream of Consciousness alongside Kenza Samir, and he’s been heavily promoting it on social media. The rapper told his followers that he never wanted people to buy or support something more in his life – and that was just a start.

Drake also took out full-page advertisements in several high-profile publications, such as the New York Post and Houston Chronicle. They came with a mysterious QR code, leading to a landing page that teases another amazing project.

“I made an album to go with the book. They say they miss the old Drake girl don’t tempt me. FOR ALL THE DOGS,” reads the statement on the landing page.

Drake is yet to share additional information about this album, but given his affinity for surprise releases, we’ll probably get to hear it pretty soon. The Canadian hitmaker dropped his first solo single of the year “Search & Rescue” back in April, but it’s unclear if this song will be featured on his new album.
