Every new album is the biggest album of the year when it comes out, at least for a couple weeks, and For All the Dogs is just as likely to take over the planet when it launches October 6. To commemorate For All the Dogs’ much-awaited, much-delayed release, we’re digging into nearly every notable outfit Drake wore in the summer-long lead up.

The T-shirt actually isn’t that bad but the context of all the bras that Drake collected on tour. Another example of the over-emphasized machismo that Drake channels at his corniest. Also, why did he keep all the bras?
Jeezy T-shirt + leather pants
