We Are OVO: 11 Dudes In Drake’s Crew [Photos]

October’s Very Own has such a busy life that it’s important that he keep the right clique floating around his cypher of greatness.

The OVO squad loves Drake so much, that they’re probably more excited to commemorate his birthday (which is today, Oct. 24) than Champagne Papi himself.

So who are the guys likely to get an invite to Drake’s birthday party ? Some of them helped him build his OVO brand, some are his artists, and others just kind of hang around and maybe protect him from shade, and things of the sort.

Hit the gallery to see some of the members of Team OVO.
