Per a January New York Times interview with Majid Jordan, Al Maskati was studying business in school and planned on going back to Bahrain after graduation.

Certified Lover Boy finds its stride when it stops fishing for hit rap collabs, and Drake shows off his range. That is obviously one strong connection to the 29-year-old rapper, and the other is that Majid Jordan is signed to OVO (October's Very Own) Sound, Drake's record label. The back end of the album is quieter, and better than the front. One thing that really stands out on the album is the production which was handled mostly by Drake’s go-to producer Noah 40 Shebib, but also includes many others like Majid Jordan, Murda Beatz, Boi-1da, and even Kanye West. Ullman helped produce "Feel No Ways", another track from Views. Featured alongside Drake are artists such as Rihanna, Future, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Pimp C, dvsn, and Wizkid, and kyla.
