Genius has released some really dope Drake content over the years and just recently they dropped a new clip any Drizzy fan is going to want to take in.

Genius Senior Correspondent Jacques Morel reports on “Drake’s Inner Circle: A Lyrical Guide” in a five minute plus video highlighting the Toronto rapper’s tendency to shout out his closest friends on songs.

“Drake has always professed how important loyalty is it to him, especially on his earliest hits like DJ Khaled’s ‘No New Friends‘ and his song, ‘Over.’ Genius put together a lyrical guide to his inner-circle, from 40 to Future The Prince and more.”
