Promotion

PartyNextDoor was initially promoted through a series of posts on the October’s Very Own blog, the official OVO Sound blog. These posts included SoundCloud posts of material later used on PartyNextDoor including "Make A Mil"[2] and "Wus Good/Curious".[3] These songs were further promoted on Twitter by both Drake[4] and the official October’s Very Own account.[5] The album’s release date was announced, again via the October’s Very Own blog, on June 20, 2013.[6]

PartyNextDoor appeared on the North American leg of Drake’s Would You Like a Tour?, marking his first tour. Vinyl and CD copies of PARTYNEXTDOOR were available for sale exclusively at the October’s Very Own merchandise booth at all Would You Like A Tour? shows.[7] The official video for "Break From Toronto" was released on 23 October 2013 and PARTYNEXTDOOR's official Vimeo page.[8]
