Polaris Music Prize 2015: Drake

Drake‘s been nominated for the Polaris Prize year in and year out (well, aside from his debut record in 2010, Thank Me Later, but I digress). So we here at Kid Icarus have slowly amassed a collection of Drake Polaris posters. It’s become a tradition, almost. Another year, another Drake poster. Here’s Matthew Daley‘s take on the self-proclaimed “6 God’s” 2015 Polaris short listed album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. It’s a real hoot (groan).
