Drake has just released his latest album, “For All The Dogs,” featuring a diverse range of R&B tracks and showcasing his singing abilities. Keith Sweat commends Drake for his efforts in the realm of singing and advises him to ignore the critics who question his vocal range. Sweat shares that he faced similar criticism during his own heyday.
