Drake's 'All the Parties', featuring Chief Keef, includes a segment towards the end of the track where he can be heard singing the following lyrics: "In this 6ix side town, a dead end world / East End boys and West End girls, yeah / East End boys and West End girls, ayy."



The song 'All the Parties' is part of Drake's eighth studio album, 'For All the Dogs', which was released on 6th October.
