JoJo has been rolling out "Good To Know" for weeks, and then Drake popped up with a surprise release the same day.

After four years of silence on the music front, JoJo released her long-awaited project Good To Know. The nine-track R&B offering chronicles her personal and professional journey and JoJo shared that it is a project that is broken down into three parts. "The first being: here's what I do to numb myself. Get me out of my skin and let me be distracted with love, sex, substances," she said. "The middle part finds me realizing that I need to be on my own for the first time in my life to end patterns that aren't serving me anymore. Toward the end, I knock on the door of self-love. Accepting where I've been and meeting myself where I'm at."

Friday (May 1) was JoJo's big day as she's been rolling out Good To Know's release for some time. Then, Drake popped up with news of a surprise mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, that stormed social media even before it hit streaming services. JoJo couldn't help but laugh at the coincidental timing and tweeted a short message to the OVO Sound mogul: "Damn Drake ðŸ˜‚😂." It was all in love, as both artists' projects have been the talk of social media all day.
