On Saturday night, South African DJ and GRAMMY award-winning producer Black Coffee’s night at Hï Ibiza featured a surprise appearance from world-renowned rapper Drake.

Black Coffee is currently holding a residency at the club and on this particular night played Drake's new track, ‘Massive’ from the album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’.

Drake jumped into the booth and after hugging Black Coffee, he began to vibe along to the track.

Both artists have collaborated before with Drake featuring on Coffee’s ‘More Life’ cut ‘Get It Together’ as well as Coffee co-producing some songs on Drake’s 2022 album.

Drake's newest album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ was released last month and sees the rapper become heavily house-influenced, with elements of tech-house shining through.

“I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time,” Drake wrote on his Apple Music page for 'Honestly, Nevermind'.

“I work with every breath in my body cause it’s the work not air that makes me feel alive. That’s some real detrimental shit but that’s that shit my perfectionist mind doesn’t really mind because no one knows whats on my mind when I go to sleep at 9 & wake up at 5—unless I say it in rhyme.”

Black Coffee will be back in the UK for one of the longest sets of his career at London’s Beckenham Place Park this year.

Heading south of the river to Lewisham for the day-long event, Black Coffee will perform a one-off headline show appearing alongside friends, all of which announced later down the line.

The event takes place on September 11 at a currently undisclosed time from the team behind RE-TEXTURED and Naked City, Krankbrother, as well as Metropolis Music.
