SKOR.id – Penyanyi dan rapper top asal Kanada Drake menunjuk Kevin Durant sebagai A&R (Artist and Repertoire) untuk album solo kedelapannya, For All the Dogs

Keputusan Drake menunjuk Durat sebagai A&R untuk album barunya itu merupakan bentuk penghargaannya terhadap forward Phoenix Suns tersebut. “Telepon,” Drake memberi judul foto dirinya dan KD — sapaan akrab Durant — di Instagram Stories-nya setelah rilis For All the Dogs.

Tugas dan tanggung jawab seorang A&R sejatinya tidak main-main. Ia adalah orang terlibat dari awal hingga akhir pembuatan sebuah album — dimulai dengan penemuan dan penandatanganan bakat, mengikuti penciptaan musik, hingga pemasaran dan promosi. 

“Anda menjadi manajer paruh waktu, terapis, pelatih kehidupan, petugas keuangan, dan teman. Karena ketika Anda menghadapi seorang artis, Anda mengambil alih seluruh hidup mereka,” ucap Julissa “Trophy” Bartholomew, salah satu A&R top, seperti dikutip Complex.

Selain menjadi A&R di For All the Dogs, KD — yang pada tahun 2021 muncul di video Drake feat Lil Durk yang menampilkan Laugh Now Cry Later — juga melakukan rap di lagu Drake yang menampilkan Chief Keef, All the Parties

“Saya dan KD sedang berjuang untuk menghasilkan karya seni,” tutur musisi bernama lengkap Aubrey Drake Graham yang juga kerap dipanggil Drizzy itu, seraya menyebut All the Parties bukanlah kali pertama dirinya menyebut nama Durant dalam sebuah lagu. 

Pada tahun 2012, ketika KD membawa Oklahoma City Thunder ke final NBA perdana bagi franchise tersebut, Drake memberikan teriakan kepada KD saat menjadi bintang tamu di singel hit French Montana Pop That.

Empat tahun kemudian, Drizzy mengeluarkan referensi Durant yang mungkin paling menonjol dalam lagu rap lewat Weston Road Flows, lagu favorit penggemar dari album 6 God — panggilan Drake lainnya — yang dilansir pada 2016, Views.

“A lot of people just hit me up when my name is mentioned
Shoutout to KD, we relate, we get the same attention
It’s raining money, Oklahoma City Thunder
The most successful rapper 35 and under”

Demikian sebagian lirik lagu Weston Road Flows yang menyebut nama KD dan dibawakan Drake dengan gaya rap

Kembali pada bulan September 2022, Drake mengunggah sesuatu di Instagram untuk merayakan ulang tahun KD yang ke-34. “Lebih banyak kehidupan untuk produser eksekutif saya @easymoneysniper,” tulis Drake di Instagram Stories-nya, kala itu.
