Drake employs an extensive series of samples throughout his new album 'Scorpion,' including a snippet of a pop culture moment about himself. In the latest season of Donald Glover’s FX show 'Atlanta,' there’s an episode titled “Champagne Papi,” where several characters attend a part at Drake’s house in hopes of meeting him. On 'Scorpion’s' 21st track “In My Feelings,” he uses a sample of dialogue from the episode as the song’s outro. The song features production from Noah “40” Shebib, Cleveland-based TrapMoneyBenny, and New Orleans bounce producer BlaqNmilD, the latter of whom also worked on Drake’s hit single “Nice For What.”
