PartyNextDoor is the self-titled debut mixtape by Canadian recording artist PartyNextDoor. It was released on July 1, 2013, by OVO Sound and Warner Records. The production on the album was completely handled by PartyNextDoor himself with additional production from 40. The album also contains a sole guest appearance from Drake.
PartyNextDoor was initially promoted through a series of posts on Canadian rapper Drake's OctoberâÂÂs Very Own blog, the official OVO Sound blog. These posts included SoundCloud posts of material later used on PartyNextDoor including "Make a Mil" and "Wus Good/Curious". These songs were further promoted on Twitter by both Drake and the official OctoberâÂÂs Very Own account. The albumâÂÂs release date was announced, again via the OctoberâÂÂs Very Own blog, on June 20, 2013.
PartyNextDoor appeared on the North American leg of DrakeâÂÂs Would You Like a Tour?, marking his first tour. Vinyl and CD copies of PARTYNEXTDOOR were available for sale exclusively at the OctoberâÂÂs Very Own merchandise booth at all Would You Like a Tour? shows. The official video for "Break From Toronto" was released on 23 October 2013 and PARTYNEXTDOOR's official Vimeo page.
Though receiving few critical reviews, and with relatively little promotion, PartyNextDoors release sold 2,000 copies in its first week, placing it at number six on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and number 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
All tracks are produced by PartyNextDoor, except for "Over Here", produced with 40.
