Although Drake's OVO Fest is over for the year, the Toronto rapper and those associated with his label had their time immortalized through a selection of images taken by Aaron Wynia.
Capturing life behind the scenes, the photographer reveals the group during their down-time throughout the OVO Fest. Many of the images show Drake, friends and fans on the sidelines of a Toronto Raptors game, where he's known to make appearances consistently. As a means to show the rapper's closeness with the team, Aaron Wynia focuses on players wearing his label-branded jerseys in a few as well.
Others tribute Toronto events like Caribana and show Drake and others from the label backstage, such as Majid Jordan and Roy Woods. Appearances from Kanye West, Rihanna and more are documented in addition.
