Being the relative of an international superstar can sometimes place you yourself in the spotlight, as is often the case with Drake\u2019s dad, Dennis Graham. Papa Graham recently starred in the new music video for Canadian brand Arkells<\/a>\u2018 song, aptly titled \u201cDrake\u2019s Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track was inspired by a real life encounter with Dennis when the band was in Graham\u2019s backyard of Memphis. In speaking on the experience, Arkells frontman Max Kerman had this to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast summer I was on a road trip with my best friends through the American south, and in the magic of the night, we happened to meet Drake\u2019s dad \u2013 Dennis Graham \u2013 in a Memphis bar\u2026He couldn\u2019t have been more gracious, especially given that there were 16 of us, drunk on friendship and cheap American beer. This chance encounter inspired this song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appropriately, the music video for \u201cDrake\u2019s Dad\u201d features Dennis and the members of Arkells partying all across Memphis. You can look for the track to appear on the Canadian group\u2019s forthcoming album, Morning Report<\/em>, releasing on August 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that Dennis Graham has been featured in a music video, however. Most notably, Dennis can be seen in Drake\u2019s visual for \u201cWorst Behavior,\u201d which was also shot in Memphis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
