PartyNextDoor is the self-titled debut extended play (EP) by Canadian recording artist PartyNextDoor. It was released on July 1, 2013, digitally through OVO Sound, the label of the rapper Drake. The EP was available for purchase on iTunes.[1]

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]
