Link copiedDrake surprised fans Thursday with news of his seventh studio album titled “Honestly, Nevermind.”A far cry from its multi-platinum predecessor “Certified Lover Boy,” which in 2021 dominated hip-hop and rap charts alike, “Honestly, Nevermind,” marks the 35-year-old rapper’s first substantial push into a new genre: house music.
However, with “Honestly, Nevermind,” the Toronto-based rapper commits entirely to the sound, releasing an album that predominantly features influences outside of hip-hop. Before Banks, house music was a staple in Black communities—and especially Black, gay communities where scholars say the genre saw its birth.House music gained prominence in the late 1970’s as disco began to fade in mainstream popularity and club DJs in Chicago and New York began to explore creative ways to edit, mix, and remix old disco records.
“I would save up all my little money for the week and I would make my way over to Christopher Street where the bars were,” said Brooks of his first experiences hearing house music. “I was 15 so I’d have to sneak in, and when I got in, I’d start hearing house music.” The term “house” is believed to have come from The Warehouse, a Chicago club with a mostly gay clientele at the time. It was where DJ Frankie Knuckles held residency. Knuckles is often credited as the godfather of house music.
By the 2000’s, Hip-hop and reggae began to take over gay clubs, while house music began to cater to white and European crowds.
