None
Drake's relationship with the UK has been very well documented. From getting BBK (Boy Better Know) tatted on his shoulder to then allegedly signing to Skepta and Jme's grime label, countless signs point to the fact that he's eager to affiliate himself with all things British. Stemming from his love for London-sounding lingo (arguably due to the Caribbean connection apparent in both London and Toronto from the dissolution of the British Empire), other noticeable connections can be seen in Drizzy donning British football firm favourite Stone Island and London skateboard brand Palace on numerous occasions.
We recently interviewed Ashley Walters who announced that Drake is very involved in the new season of Top Boy; certification of Drake's desire to be seen "doing road." He also recently jumped on-stage with Section Boyz in Shoreditch and is now sampling UK funky classics on Views From The 6. To be honest, we're surprised he hasn't brought out his own Ting-flavoured vodka yet. Already on his way, here are 6 more steps Drake needs to take in becoming the number one Toronto-born honorary Londoner.
Spit Over A Grime Beat And Get A Reload
We've yet to hear Drake on a gully grime beat. Imagine him flowing over some Eski riddims or "Pulse X" whilst waved at Visions in Dalston...
hi @Drake will you be at metro boomin at visions tonight? lmk xxxxxxxx

Bury Devilman Like He Bodied Meek Mill
Finish the job Skepta started in clashing Devilman, and rinse him in the same brutal fashion he laid down on Meek Mill in the summer of 2015.
Take Rihanna To Morley's After Carnival
We envisage these settings as follows: after both flying over to London to perform "Work" at Notting Hill Carnival, Drizzy needs to find a spot to take RiRi for a much-needed munch. Drake's skint after spending all his money on rum and Red Bull so he's got to take her to Morley's for a £1.99 two-piece and chips.

"Yo GG! You heard my new mixtape? Trussmidaddi—bare bangers."
Rock A Manbag And Sell NOS Balloons
Drake selling whipped cream cannisters for £5 a pop (daylight robbery!) outside a house rave would be a sight to behold.
Choose ONE Football Team
Driz, listen to the cries of #YOSO (You Only Support One) and stop wearing so many different teams' shirts! Get yourself down to South Bermondsey on a Sunday wearing a Millwall shirt under one of your Stoneys and you'll have fully accomplished your mission of becoming a true London don. Or, alternatively, just support Man United. Let's see it, bruvvvaaa!
