Turns out Drake‘s recent trip to Memphis was all in support of Young Thug … as Drizzy shot scenes there for the “Oh U Went” music vid, and picked up a key to the city while he was at it.
The finished product was released Monday … directors Nick Manterola and Garfield Larmond Jr. splice footage from a more scripted video treatment together with Drake’s contributions.
The “Jimmy Cooks” rapper can be spotted in one scene holding a small child as he raps from a stoop and elsewhere, and gets turnt with fans inside the Railgarten venue where the video was shot.
The Memphis City Council awarded Drake a key to the city last month — aside from shooting the music video there, Drake’s dad, Dennis Graham, is a Memphis native.
As for Thug’s “Business is Business” album … it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 a few weeks ago … an impressive achievement, considering the YSL leader has been locked up for over a year on criminal racketeering charges.

When we spoke to producer Southside about the project’s creation, he declared the reception exceeded his expectations, as they finalized the album — Drake features and all — in just 2 weeks.
