The wait for Drake's new album, Views From The 6, is nearly over, and it won't be long before we can hear the record in its entirety. To get fans even more excited about the album's imminent release, Drake dropped two songs on Tuesday, 'One Dance' and 'Pop Style.' While 'Pop Style' features The Throne, which is, of course, Kanye West and Jay Z, who else?, 'One Dance' is a collaboration with Kyla and Wizkid. But who is 'One Dance' about? Is this yet another love song from Views From The 6?

Hopefully Drake's new album will be released sooner rather than later, so that we can all stop speculating about what it will sound like. As Capital Xtra said, 'The new song... hears Drake rap over a sample of classic UK funky house track 'Do U Mind' by Crazy Cousinz and features Kyla and Wiz Kid.' The tracks we've heard so far which are likely to appear on Views From The 6 feature a long list of impressive collaborators, as well as some surprising musical references. But is 'One Dance' about someone in particular? It certainly sounds like a love song, akin to Drake track 'Controlla' which was previously leaked. Let's examine the lyrics.
Throughout 'One Dance,' Drake appears to be talking to one specific person, and his connection to them. For instance, in the first verse, he wants to make it back safe from a trip, and even prays.

The name Hennessy is a girl's name. Hennessy has attracted some notice as a first name via rapper Cardi B's sister Hennessy Carolina. It certainly has a pretty sound and can hold its own with the new generation of Irish names for girls that originated as surnames, such as Kennedy, McKenna, and Riley. Hennessy is also the brand name of a cognac, which is how Cardi B got her stage name - her.
Throughout 'One Dance,' Drake appears to be talking to one specific person, and his connection to them. For instance, in the first verse, he wants to make it back safe from a trip, and even prays for that to happen. He's also thinking about them all the time, and is clearly committed, as they're always on his mind. So could 'One Dance' be about a love interest of Drake's? Or is the song a more general look at relationships?
In the chorus, Drake sings about wanting to have one last dance with this person. Saving the last dance is a very romantic, and old school notion, which makes it sound like the relationship is serious. There's also some magic at work, with 'powers taking hold' as the pair dance, which almost sounds like a reference to Drake's famous dance moves. But could it also be a romantic gesture on his part? And all of this happens while drinking Hennessy? Drake has great taste.
While some of the lyrics in 'One Dance' are a little vague, it definitely seems as though a relationship is being hinted at. Wanting to know where the other person is at, what they want, and where they're going, are all important considerations. When Drake sings, 'Cause if you're down, I'll take it slow,' it sounds like a promise. If the other person agrees and is on board, then he is ready to commit, and to take the relationship in the direction that they want. So could 'One Dance' be about Drake's rumored love interest Rihanna?
Having collaborated on several songs, most recently 'Work', Drake has had plenty of chances to dance alongside Rihanna. The pair clearly have chemistry, and it's certainly possible that 'One Dance' is Drake's way of addressing their connection, and discussing the possibility of taking it forward. However, the song could just as easily be about another potential girlfriend of Drake's. We'll just have to wait until we've heard Views From The 6 in its entirety, to see if there are any further clues about Drake's love life.

Hennessy is something you should absolutely know about, assuming you like smooth, rich tipples. Also if you like having the appearance of incredible swagger.
The company — which reads “modern” but is in fact 253 years young — puts out a solid half of the world’s Cognac. It has Irish roots, and kept two families in business for eight and seven generations, respectively. To put that in perspective, my father once asked me to take over the family business and instead I took an improv class.
In honor of any family who can do eight generations of anything, here are a few facts about Hennessy worth knowing.
Hennessy: Thoroughly French … by way of Ireland.
Hennessy is Cognac, which is brandy made in Cognac, France. But the brand was created by an Irishman. Richard Hennessy was born to an aristocratic family in County Cork in 1724. As was fairly common for a man of his stature, Hennessy left Ireland for continental Europe, where he fought for Louis XV’s army, founded Hennessy in 1765, and began the family legacy of getting very classy people drunk.
In case you forgot, here’s what Cognac is.
Cognac, and its older cousin Armagnac, are two glorious products of man’s eternal desire to turn anything and everything into alcohol. Both Cognac and Armagnac are grape brandies or, essentially, distilled wines with higher ABVs. Basic Hennessy is a combination of 40 distillations, which is then French-oak-barrel-aged and sipped — ideally with extreme classiness — out of a tulip-shaped snifter. The oak definitely has an impact on the brandy, but it’s subtler, often nutty or toasty, drying out richer Cognac notes like tender fruit, vanilla, and spice.
The alphabet is your guide to Hennessy.
The letters that come after the name Hennessy (V.S., X.O., V.S.O.P., etc.) are actually straightforward, useful ways to gauge a brandy’s impact on your palate — and your wallet. Fortunately for brandy drinkers, and the brandy curious, we wrote up a handy guide. But the gist of the letters is a guide to aging — “Very Old,” “Very Special,” “Extra Old,” and so forth.
We love Nas. Nas loves Hennessy.
It’s also possible Nas loves the profitable “brand ambassador” endorsement deal he made with Hennessy, which is a delightful partnership for many reasons, but also because it led to a commercial where the “Time is Illmatic” phenom does the unthinkable and makes meaningful eye contact with people on a New York City subway.

(Of course, Nas isn’t the first or only hip hop artist to sip Cognac. As a writer for VinePair reported, “the word Hennessy or Cognac is mentioned in over 1,000 songs by such famed artists as Notorious BIG, 2Pac, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Nas, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent.”)
Regular Hennessy is an affordable luxury. Extra Special Hennessy will annihilate your debit card.
Hennessy V.S., which has notes of soft fruit, toasted nuts, and vanilla, will run you about $50 to $55. But if you’ve got the cash, go for the 250-year anniversary bottle named after founder Richard Hennessy. It’s a mix of roughly 100 eaux de vie, resulting in an incredibly delicate bouquet of spice, oak, and tender fruit, and, oh yes, retails anywhere from $3999.99 to $4999.99. Also known as the cost of about 20 minutes of Ivy League college. Sip slowly.
Sip very slowly.
Hennessy is a mega-brand, with control of half of the world’s Cognac production. But last year the company actually had to hold back product from store shelves because demand for the stuff is rapidly, thirstily outpacing supply.
There’s fancy, and then there’s Henny Fancy.
Hennessy isn’t content being just a little fancy. It decided to partner with both Moët & Chandon and Louis Vuitton, apparently creating the world’s fanciest trifecta. Which is to say, if you can afford it, we suggest double-fisting Hennessy and Champagne while wearing exactly this.

It’s Henny’s fault. All of it.
Hennessy Name
Not at all a historic fact, but important to know if and when legal or personal issues crop up: Jamie Foxx famously suggested we all blame our bad decisions on Hennessy. As in that “My Little Pony” tattoo you got “ironically” last weekend, not because you deeply miss the innocence and magic of your childhood.
Hennessy Definition
The guy behind the iconic Obama ‘Hope’ poster designed a Hennessy bottle.
Street artist and social activist Shepard Fairey designed the bottle for a bottle of “Very Special,” (V.S., per above) Hennessy as part of its Limited Edition bottle series. Art and culture seem to matter a lot to Hennessy. The brand recently partnered with artist and rapper A$AP FERG and Chinese new media artist Yang Yongliang.
