As fans look forward to the release of Drake's upcoming album, "For All The Dogs," he has something exciting in store for them, all thanks to his five-year-old son, Adonis.
The new project will be the "Take Care" rapper's eighth album, which comes after he released the house-inspired album "Honestly, Nevermind" and the collaborative album "Her Loss" with 21 Savage last year.
Ahead of the release of "For All The Dogs" on August 25, Drake has dropped the cover art for the album, with all credit given to his son and his artistic side.

The 36-year-old businessman recently proved his little boy Adonis is so much like him when it comes to creativity as he included him in his much-awaited album.
Drake, who shares the youngster with French painter and former model Sophie Brussaux, unveiled the cover for the new album on Instagram, revealing a drawing by his son. The photo showed a childish depiction of a dog with red eyes sketched against a black background, and it was captioned, "FOR ALL THE DOGS β Cover by Adonis."

A day before the album's cover went live, Drake posted a picture of his son bonding with his mom, Sandi Graham, in his home. They both wore bathrobes; Sandi's was white, while her grandson wore gray. His robe also had a hood that covered his hair as he looked away from the camera.
Viewers could see some of Adonis' colorful artworks in the background, which were plastered on the wall, including a rainbow portrait. The "Hotline Bling" rapper captioned the shot with an arrow through the heart emoji, and as expected, his numerous followers were all over it in no time.

This summer has been a period of unveiling exciting projects for the Canadian artist. Before dropping his latest album's cover, Drake publicized his first poetry book in June via Instagram. The uploaded photos showcased the bright blue paperbacks, including its title, "TITLES RUIN EVERYTHING."
The "One Dance" singer's birth name, Aubrey Graham, was also included as the author, alongside Kenza Samir, a significant contributor to his music. The poetry book is a compilation of never-before-seen lyrics, poems, and one-liners from the co-authors, and it was made available to only "exclusive vendors" on his Drake-related website.

As seen on the "In My Feelings" rapper's Instagram, he blessed the world with a view of the five-year-old singing a verse from "Rich Flex," Drake's song with 21 Savage, in a cute clip.
Adonis shook his head as he belted out, "21, can you do something for me?" while holding a hand-made tag that read, "Dad, I hope you have a great concert." One more video featured the little one imitating his dad's displays at shows by jumping on the couch and kicking his legs while repeating the lyrics.
