In a recent flurry of Instagram activity, Drake has fans buzzing with excitement over the prospect of new music. The 6 God has been in the studio and confirmed to DJ Akademiks that he’s “cooking” up something special, indicating that he’s been focused and ready to drop fresh tracks soon. After his last release, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, on February 14th, anticipation for his next project has only intensified.
Drake’s messages to Akademiks revealed his singular vision for the upcoming music, stating, “You know where I’m at mentally when I’m locked in. I’m in the zone, it’s just me.” The rapper emphasized that this new material will be a showcase of his artistry, without the collaborative features that characterized his previous works.
Meanwhile, DJ Akademiks has been hyping Playboi Carti’s new album, I AM MUSIC, which has become a hot topic following its recent delays. Interestingly, Akademiks disclosed that Drake had recorded a guest verse for the album, though he expressed skepticism about its inclusion in the final tracklist. This skepticism stems from claims that Kendrick Lamar is the creative director of I AM MUSIC, leading to speculation that any collaboration with Drake might not make the cut. However, these claims were quickly dismissed by Carti’s producer, F1LTHY, who asserted that Lamar is not directing the album and that it remains a vision solely crafted by Carti.
As the landscape of hip hop continues to shift, both Drake and Playboi Carti are poised to make waves with their respective projects. With Drake’s solo material on the horizon and the intrigue surrounding Carti’s album, fans have much to look forward to in the coming weeks.
