Drake talks on his recent Club Paradise Tour and explains he approaches the tour "like an athlete."

Drake recently spoke to Sway Calloway for MTV News about his Club Paradise Tour. The massive tour includes a slew of artists, like J. Cole, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Waka Flocka Flame and French Montana, so the vibe on stage and backstage has to be right. The vibe for Drake's dressing room, for example, is a posh one: he has the candles, wine-colored couches and matching OVO throw pillows.

Drizzy says of the backstage area, "Everywhere you turn, there are different rooms, different vibes. It's kind of like I wanted to create a real atmosphere before show and after show. We paid very close attention to detail this tour, but all just for the greater good of the energy and the vibe."  

He also explains that he thinks of going on stage and delivering an hour-and-a-half set as more of a physical workout, "I think going onstage for me now, it's a very physical thing. It's 90 minutes, and I like to deliver records so that they sound like the actual song," he continued, "To be able to maintain that stamina is very difficult, and it's become a profession in its own for me, as far as mastering my breathing, working out every day, eating different, not drinking as much, just taking my life a bit more serious."
