Drake releases 3 new songs, including possible clapback at Kendrick Lamar
The Toronto rapper's new tracks feature 21 Savage, Latto and Young Thug
After teasing fans with new content on a mysterious Instagram account, Drake released three new songs: "It's Up" featuring 21 Savage and Young Thug, "Housekeeping Knows" featuring Latto, and "Blue Green Red," which was produced by Gordo.
"It's Up" contains several lyrics hinting at Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar, including 21 Savage's verse where he raps: "Made a couple songs, think he hot now/ Hit his ass up, he think he Pac now," referencing Tupac Shakur's iconic diss track "Hit Em Up."
In April during his feud with Lamar, Drake dropped the diss track "Taylor Made Freestyle," which used AI-generated vocals of Shakur calling on Lamar to battle with Drake. However, after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Shakur's estate, the song was removed from YouTube and Spotify.
Aside from his features on Gordo's songs "Sideways" and "Healing," which were released on July 26, the songs are the first new music Drake has put out since his feud with Lamar.
The three surprise songs first appeared on the Instagram account @plottttwistttttt and were subsequently shared by the Toronto rapper's personal Instagram as well as his label, OVO Sound.
The tracks are available for download on a website, 100 Gigs for Your Headtop, which also features behind-the-scenes footage of Drake's music videos, recording sessions and more.
The songs are currently not on streaming services.
