Drake and OVO Deliver Surprise Set at SXSW
Them boys are up to something. Drake and his OVO squad took over Austin, Texas, for a surprise showcase at SXSW on Saturday (Mar. 19).
Following Yo Gotti’s performance, fans were shocked when the OVO Sound squad emerged to deliver an announced set at the Fader Fort.
OVO’s newest signee dvsn hit the stage first with three songs, followed by Roy Wood$, Majid Jordan, and PARTYNEXTDOOR. They made way for the 6 God, who ran through a six-track set that included “Energy,” “Jumpman,” and “Know Yourself,” with a cameo from Metro Boomin.

“Views from the 6 coming in I don’t know how many weeks,” he told the crowd. “So I hope y’all enjoy that shit.”
