Drake’s OVO Air Jordan 11 Gets Two New Colorways
Drake has had a working relationship with Nike and Jordan Brand for quite some time now, which has resulted in some pretty fantastic sneakers. The Canadian megastar has had quite a number of sneakers make their way to the market, including pairs of the Air Jordan 10 and even the Air Jordan 8. While some have been released, others have selfishly been kept as PEs for Drake to have to himself. There have been plenty such cases with the Air Jordan 11 and according to @EnglishSole on Instagram, it appears as though two more OVO Air Jordan 11s have made their way to the market.
These colorways were shown off following his 34th birthday and they certainly seem like a nice little gift to himself. As you can see, the first colorway is mostly white with a gum sole, while the other is black with the same aesthetics on the underfoot. As for OVO branding, we get some on the tongue, as well as the patent leather that wraps around the upper. This section features the OVO logo copy and pasted throughout.
Of course, since these are PEs, they will never be making their way to the market, although it’s nice to fantasize sometimes.
In other Drake related news, the artist has revealed the release timetable for his new album Certified Lover Boy.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
