Aug 24, 2024 Drake has released three new songs out of the blue — and they might just spark round two of his battle with Kendrick Lamar. The Canadian hitmaker shared the trio of tracks on Friday (August 23) via his burner Instagram account, through which he dropped a similar batch of previously unreleased songs earlier this month in a bid bounce back from his perceived defeat in the beef. Included in the new releases are “SOD,” his recently leaked collaboration with Lil Yachty that no longer features the Atlanta rapper, “Circadian Rhythm” and “No Face,” which features guest vocals from Playboi Carti. The latter has quickly generated the most chatter among fans thanks to some choice words from Drake seemingly aimed at Kendrick Lamar and the other rappers he sparred with in April and May. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_B2...d&ig_rid=fe90a85c-0533-469d-b308-6bd584c2135f https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_B2...d&ig_rid=f0b5ee9e-2416-4814-b159-ff1db934bbf4 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_B2...d&ig_rid=b25e8879-76a7-4f81-9def-f0b13827ce0c N-ggas got lit off the features I skated on / I gotta know, I gotta know / How you get lit off the n-gga you hatin’ on? / Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong,” he raps, appearing to reference his guest verses for the likes of A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd and Future while casting doubt on Kendrick eclipsing many of his streaming records with “Not Like Us”. “This is the moment I know they been prayin’ on / What? Aye, what? Aye / Try knock The Boy off, but f--- it, I’m stayin’ on / O’ keep on sendin’ me slaps to go crazy on / 40 keep sayin’ it’s time to be patient / It’s so many people we turnin’ the tables on.” Drizzy continues in his second verse: “My therapist put in a 30-day notice / ‘Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women / It’s no diagnosis, they emptied the clip,” clearly adopting Kendrick Lamar’s cadence with the last line. Circadian Rhythm,” meanwhile, continues the Kendrick taunts as its title seemingly references a line from the Compton rapper’s “6:16 in LA” diss song where he rapped: “I know this type of power is gon’ cost / But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star.” Drake also dubbed the song “The Language 2,” implying it’s a sequel to his 2013 Nothing Was the Same cut on which he subliminally responded to Kendrick’s earth-shaking “Control” verse. He then warns his opps: “Quick, swap that s--- out, and I came back reloaded / I’m just so happy that n-ggas who envied and held that s--- in got to finally show it / I’m over the moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon / I’m spreadin’ my wings, I hop out cocoon / I’m studio trappin’, I’m locked in the room, what?”
Aug 24, 2024 No Face and Language 2 slap!!! Except for the lazy as f--- hook on NF, verses are nice though
Aug 25, 2024 Dude needs to drop a good album. Go back to bangers and putting artists on. That's what he's good at. Something Kendrick can't do. In before Kendrick had a hit in 2024, that's a drake diss. 80% Drake's hit
Aug 25, 2024 Yet he owns your country. You were too busy embarrassed of not being from the US listening to their music instead
Aug 25, 2024 This is what Drake needs, an album full of bangers and new artists to give a career to. Not a long a--- album full of filler and 1 or 2 good tracks like he's been doing for the last couple of years. He got very lazy with it.
Aug 25, 2024 It seems like he’s too scared to drop an album which is why he keeps leaking these 3 packs instead
Aug 25, 2024 Yeah and it sounded like Drake was gonna go on a vacation until the Kendrick beef happened. That’s what sucks about the beef.
