Drake Will Curate Music for ESPN’s Monday Night Football

After announcing the release of his new LP Certified Lover Boy and the album dropping last week, Drake has a new gig. ESPN has announced Drake will curate the music for the upcoming Monday Night Football season. ESPN said Drake is someone who know what music will “encapsulates both the energy and mood” of the NFL season.

The music will include a combination of track off Certified Lover Boy, other classic Drake songs along with other artists he chooses. The music will be played during Monday Night Football ads, live telecasts and pre-game shows starting this week. The Vice President of Sports Marketing for ESPN had this to say about the partnership:

“Now we are here…the kickoff of the football season. And who better to curate music for Monday Night Football than Drake who sits firmly at the intersection of music and sports. We couldn’t be more excited for this upcoming collaboration. The music curator role has been a big hit with our fans with Diplo and DJ Khaled in previous years…. and this season, we will be living inside the moment with Drake as our NFL on ESPN soundtrack.”
