Time to turn up to some viola, y'all!

When Drake rapped about runnin' through the 6 with his woes we had no idea he was talking about the members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

But these classical music artists are fiiiiiiire.

Last night the orchestra masterfully tackled a string arrangement of the 28-year-old Canada native's joint "Know Yourself" at the Polaris Prize Gala.

Spoiler alert: They killed it.

Somehow the song just makes sense in a lush, epic cover like this.

Drake already has so many feelings. It was a matter of time before his pensive, thoughtful flow was channeled by violins and cellos, right?

And if the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's looking for what to tackle next, he just dropped a fresh mixtape with Future. Who wouldn't want to hear a soaring rendition of supportive stripper anthem "Plastic Bag"?
