TORONTO - Drake's summer is shaping up to be a busy one.

The "Hotline Bling" rapper has announced plans for a 32-date North American Tour timed to the release of his new album.

The duo are currently on the Billboard charts with their collaboration track "Jumpman."

The tour will make three stops in Canada, including one in Toronto on July 31 and Vancouver Sept. 17.

A third date is slated as part of Drake's annual OVO Fest on Aug. 1, which this year will also feature Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.
