Their apathy towards rappers is at this point pretty weird.

Male R&B acts in general have a hard time breaking through to the public.

It feels like OVO Sound was / is built primarily as an R&B hub full of niche artists as well as songwriters for Drake and the rest of the industry.

This bullshit that ovo was built for songwriters for drake is baseless cap.

Doesn’t even make sense.

OVO is a fan of r&b

Oh
My what a shocker

Is Leon thomas signed ? Sign him to OVO asap

I watched that ig live some time ago and party such a weirdo lmfao. Didnt finish 1 f***ing story

Sure it does if you take the fan cap off. It's not meant to slander drake, but it 100% isn't baseless lol

Have you seen the credits on his R&B records? He's literally yelled that he loves writing with party, has given party records, He's written for and with Majid, he's written for and with Baka,

I'm not saying that OVO sound exist SOLELY to write FOR drake, but they've definitely helped Drake on that side of the ball.

Man literally just said OVO was built to provide drake with records

Then says Ovo sole purpose is not to supply drake records

Pick one

Is Roy woods still with them? Feel like I ain’t heard new music from him in years

"It feels like OVO Sound was / is built primarily as an R&B hub full of niche artists as well as songwriters for Drake and the rest of the industry."

I didn't mean literally write songs for Drake, so my bad for typing fast.

I simply meant that the R&B acts on OVO Sound help drake with records and vice versa. That's it lol and that's literally happened a ton.

He dropped 2 tracks at the top of 2020, looked like he had a whole rollout ready and then the pandemic hit and he pulled back on it..

He released an EP

He is. Hes with drake in the bahamas now

We talking about his album not that little ep

"He dropped 2 tracks" nah my man he dropped more

I’m not your f***ing man

Thats not what u said last night

The problem with this is that, OVO was officially founded in 2012, He didn't sign party (or anyone new for that matter) until 2013. It was all only in-house producers. So really your point here falls short.

If you follow the people that were signed you see that Drake would collaborate with these acts and then sign them. Makonnen being a great example of this, only he's also not on the label anymore. It seems from the outside that a lot of the people signed were offered a record deal because of their collaborations with drake prior to them being signed.

It's weird because I feel like baka was only signed to ovo sound specifically to drop live up to my name which was written by drake, also advertised thru ovo sound radio. It's a nice way to give a friend of yours a constant revenue stream without having to hand them money every week.

Baka the only signing that was drake decision. The rest is mainly Oliver / 40.

I don't know who signs who, but to me I think it's like any artists that work with drake on a record who aren't signed to a label already, get offered a deal with ovo.

I think dvsn was the only artist that wasn't involved in a drake record prior to signing, but ninteen85 has been signed to ovo sound for a while.

If you got sources on signings hit me with em, cause I'd like to read about the process they go through to figure out who to offer a deal and who not to.

DVSN and Party are literally a staple

Well OVO artists are also all pretty much from Toronto and drake connects with dope creators from Toronto early so that’s just natural

Drake works with plenty people early. When you listen to a OVO40 interview it makes sense ovo what it is.

He been in Barbados with them recent and yes he’s still signed + dropping music. Looks like he’s taking time crafting his new s***
