Drake has been creepin' on the low recently, announcing at his most recent OVO Fest that he'd be laying up in the 6ix side to work on his next official release. He teased his temporary home that seems to be located right next to the CN Tower in Toronto and is currently waiting for his mansion to undergo renovations. While we're here hoping that we'll be getting more music from the OVO head honcho, yesterday he surprised a bunch of his fans as he popped up during Jorja Smith's set to perform their More Life collab "Get It Together" at Toronto's Velvet Underground. 

As she began to sing the hook to the song, clearly being in Toronto everyone was wildly excited. However, the excitement really took off once Drake's live vocals came in. As he popped up on stage, the two had an magical moment where they got to perform the song together in Drake's hometown. In the clip surfacing on Twitter, Drake comes in with a part of his verse before doing his signature Hotline Bling cha-cha and vibing out with the crowd. 

Afterwards, Drake had some very kind words for the UK songstress. Before he made his exit, he said "Probably one of the most incredible voices, incredible talents and incredible people I've ever met. Make some noise for Jorja Smith." Afterwards, he did the most Drake thing possible and bowed down and kissed her hand before bouncing off of the stage.

While Drake got Smith for "Get It Together" it definitely had a role in helping her name have the reach it does right now. The songstress recently dropped "On My Mind" featuring UK's Preditah. She will be also performing at New York's Afropunk festival tomorrow as well.

As she keeps herself busy with these shows, we're all eagerly waiting for her to drop a full-length. Hopefully a Drake feature ends up on it. The two have proven to have some great chemistry on wax.
