Drake has released Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), an hourlong film that combines new music, music videos and appearances from several familiar faces.
The project premiered Tuesday night after the Canadian rapper previously described it as a “not so short film.” Directed by Theo Skudra, Liam Macrae, Jake Schreier, Zong Li and Glenn Michael, the film brings together footage captured throughout the year in Toronto and elsewhere.
The project features Sexyy Red, Winnie Harlow, Lena the Plug, Don Toliver and Drake’s mother, Sandi Graham. It also includes tracks connected to Drake’s recent releases, Maid of Honour and Habibti.
The film opens with “Cheetah Print,” featuring Sexyy Red, followed by “Outside Tweaking” with Stunna Sandy and an infomercial-style segment promoting “Panty Dropper.”
Winnie Harlow appears in “New Bestie”, while Sandi Graham features in “True Bestie”, where she shows off her “Icemom” tattoo.
Drake also introduces new material, including what appears to be a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The track features Don Toliver in a slowed-down, underwater-inspired rendition.

Another unreleased song with Toliver, along with a separate track featuring Yeat, also appears in the film.
Fear of Missing Out offers a glimpse into Drake’s creative ambitions and the scale of his recent musical output. He described the project as “self funded surrealism” and said it was a story about making the most of a single summer.
The film follows three surprise albums Drake released in May: Iceman, Maid of Honour and Habibti. Together, the projects contain 43 songs and feature numerous guest appearances.
