Drake with Jimmy Fallon

Released on April 29th, Drake’s latest album, Views, has been enjoying a coast across the charts, with each song from the album debuting on the Billboard Top 200. The artist scored his first No. 1 single with “One Dance,” and all 20 of the album’s new songs have spent over a week holding their place on the charts. On the road to promote the album (as well as his upcoming appearance on SNL this Saturday), Drake stopped by Jimmy Fallon’s desk today for the standard late-night talk show interview which included the introduction of “Mini Drake” and a lovely game of everyone’s favorite unofficial American past time, “Faceketball.” Pitted against Late Night darling Jimmy Fallon, the rapper eagerly took on the talk show host and made sure to use the proper balls for the showdown.

With the eyes of the audience (and at least three tiny replicas of himself) on him, Drake ended the game by quite literally dunking on Fallon, holding down his place as Best Faceketball-Playing Rapper on the release night of Chance the Rapper’s new album, Coloring Book.

You can purchase Drake’s latest album, Views (a dedication to the city of Toronto) from his website and Apple Music.
