Right now, Drake is probably the hip-hop artist who's most known for taking inspiration from the Caribbean-born genre. It started when Boi-1da, who was credited on five VIEWS songs, tweeted, "If I hear one more terrible dancehall attempt of a song I'm out."

There are certainly elements of dancehall in the "Luv" instrumental (from Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat) as well as in Tory's singing flow.
