\n\tOn the day the collab album from the two Toronto stars dropped, the U.K.-based producer shared on IG<\/a> that he was going through a tough time when he made the beat. \u201cI don\u2019t even know where to start,\u201d he shared in an Instagram caption. \u201cThis record means a lot to me. In the mist of a mental breakdown I channeled all the pain, trauma and joy into music not letting a f\u2014ed up mental state stop me from expressing myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdding, \u201cNokia came from people I love ringing my line asking if I was okay inviting me out to karaoke, clubbing, going to crazy food spots and just enjoying the finer things in life! When Drake puts pen to pad onna elkan ting you know it\u2019s a speeeecial one!\u201d<\/p>\n
