Oliver El-Khatib is Drake's longtime manager and co-founder of OVO Sound, and his name appears in production and executive credits across the catalog. He is not a beatmaker in the conventional sense and is more accurately understood as a creative director and A&R lead, but the label has long credited him on albums where he steered sequencing, mixing decisions, and broader sonic direction. His credits surface on So Far Gone, Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, Views, and More Life among others, often alongside 40 and Drake on executive production lines. He met Drake in Toronto in the late 2000s and helped found the October's Very Own brand, which expanded from a blog and mixtape platform into a record label, fashion line, and festival operation. As a label head he has signed and developed PARTYNEXTDOOR, Majid Jordan, Roy Woods, dvsn, and others. His role on Drake records is less about specific drum patterns and more about the editorial sensibility that defines an OVO release. Listing him alongside producers reflects how the credits are formally filed, and his fingerprints on the project arcs are present even when his name is not on individual beats.
