Drake released the first single from his next album earlier tonight through his website along with the following note.

My good friends,

It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

[Audio] D-NO – Burkina Faso (ft. Deolu Solar) (prod. Bamzy)

“Burkina Faso” is a new track from D-NO featuring Deolu Solar of The Bonafide Crew.

D-NO (Dinisu Onyenokwe) is a Nigerian Hip-Hop artist currently studying Public Policy in Toronto, Canada. He was a pioneer member of the Bonafide Crew that gathered a large audience in their secondary school days between 2004-2007, before splitting up.

D-NO continued to write and perform his own songs, developing his own distinct style of music with an emphasis on rap and conscious lyrics. His mother, Adesuwa Onyenokwe is a renowned journalist, magazine publisher and TV presenter in Nigeria. She has been a big influence on his work particularly addressing issues of common concern in ways others couldn’t through his music.

Together with Bonafide and Laolu Ogun, D-NO is set to make a return. He released a street single, “I’m Back” in December 2012 and this is his first official single, “Burkina Faso” featuring Bonafide Crew member, Deolu Solar and produced by Bamzy.

Burkina Faso incites a movement for social change in Africa. Partly due to D-NO’s heritage and his university course, he felt a desire to use his music not only to entertain people but to spread the right messages to raise awareness of the continued degradation that grips the continent. He plans to release a compilation called, Conflicted, due for release in the early part of 2013. Follow him @dno_07 or @team_bonafide.
