\n\tAs Drake<\/a> continues the intricate roll-out<\/a> for his upcoming album Iceman<\/em>, fans are getting introduced to a new cast of characters in the Drizzy Cinematic Universe. Ever the tastemaker, Drake\u2019s ear is constantly to the streets and it\u2019s no surprise that on the intro to his latest single, \u201cDog House,\u201d we hear from up and coming singer-songwriter Julia Wolf<\/a>, who srikes a perfect blend between aughts-era emo and more contemporary bedroom pop. Though only present for the song\u2019s opening seconds, Wolf\u2019s verse has quickly gone viral, with some fans wishing there was more, and most everyone agreeing that her brief addition to the track is easily the most memorable part. <\/p>\n \n\tIn May, the Queens New York native released her third album PRESSURE,<\/em> which featured the single \u201cIn My Room,\u201d which took off on TikTok and racked up more than 40 million streams since its release. Fans of Wolf conect to the singer\u2019s lyrics, delivered in a sweetly melancholic tone, that tap into a longing, poetic sensibility. It was \u201cIn My Room,\u201d that resonated with Drizzy, too. Wolf says after someone played him the track, he immediatley reached out, noting how the song struck a chord. Over time, the two would converse casually, with Drake offering support for Wolf\u2019s music on social media. The pair would eventually collaborate on \u201cDog House,\u201d after Drake asked Wolf for a few tracks and landed on the distinct opening lines on the song. \u201cChew me up and spit me out \/ Big dog loves a crowd\u201d Wolf sings. \u201cWell, tell \u2019em to search my house \/ I bet they find you face down.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s not hard to guess why Drake, coming off the year he\u2019s had, found himself conecting to these lyrics in particular. Ahead of her upcoming tour, Julia Wolf talked to Rolling Stone<\/em> about getting the call from Drizzy, her songwriting process, and coming out of her shell as an artist. <\/p>\n
