Rapper, Drake who reportedly has a $20 million contract with Apple, took to the stage to discuss the new Apple Connect feature and how it would benefit fans and artists alike.
“Focus on your body of work,” he said. “Instead of having to post your stuff on these different and sometimes confusing places, it’s all in one place: Connect.”
According to The Verge, “Connect is designed to allow artists, both major and small-time, to share their output and connect directly with fans with lyrics, behind-the-scenes photos, remixes, and more. If that sounds familiar, it should — Ping, Apple’s shuttered social music network, hinged on connecting listeners to artists.”

Not only that but Drake has also revealed that his next album will only drop exclusively on the Apple service!
