  • The duo Majid Jordan met while studying at the University of Toronto and quickly realised they had a creative kinship. Not long after, the two were signed to Drake’s record label OVO Sound and started touring the world, touted as the next big thing. Majid Jordan’s new album, Good People, is out now. They sat down with Tom Power to talk about writing a hit song with Drake, their creative process, and why surrounding yourself with Good People is so important.

    I enjoyed how calm this album was compared to a lot of their previous projects sonically. It felt very pure.

    Best concert ever. I still can’t believe how amazing they are live. You just can’t bottle that up and put it in an album.

      can't expect less from one of OVO's best hook writers. You'd be surprised how many of Drake's hooks were written by him.

    loved this conversation so much ~ a lot of inspiring vibes and really enjoyed hearing these stories from their perspectives. 🤍last week i was lucky enough to see them live for about the 5th time, and was able to tell them how impactful their music/vision are for their supporters. 💚i felt a pure sense of calm getting to exchange words with them, and i went home that night feeling like every day can get a little bit better (even when things are hard). 🤍all that to say - i appreciate them so much

    Drake doesn’t like when people are more talented than him and it’s clear seeing as every artist he “signs” to OVO sound disappears and becomes a writer for his music. The Weeknd even alluded to this being the case. Majid Jordan are amazing I hope they can get free from drakes BS.
