Drake and Fabolous have worked together in the past on a remix of Fabolous’ “Throw It in the Bag” in 2009 and Chris Brown’s “Deuces (Remix)” in 2010. In addition to Fabolous, Drake also expressed admiration for another group from the 2000s era, 112. “Also wouldn’t be s**t without this,” posted a photo of the cover art of R&B group’s 1996 debut album and included a caption with it.
