Drake will make his Saturday Night Live debut tomorrow night, performing tracks from his upcoming LP Take Care, including just-released Nicki Minaj collab “Make Me Proud”. No word on whether Nicki will be joining him, but the Canadian rapper does promise “larger than life” performances, which include an “atmosphere change” of the musical stage. Can he top Kanye’s incredible 2010 performance, in which he turned the whole stage stark white? We shall see. Watch Drizzy in his SNL promo below.

“One thing that I do notice is not too many people bring atmosphere change [as SNL musical guests], so I really pushed to change the station into something different and I think I did a great job of that,” he told MTV. “I just hope that visually and sonically, it’s a superior performance.”

Will we get to see Drizzy return to his Degrassi acting roots? Possibly! Says Drake: “I think that I’m gonna be involved in the actual skits.”
