In a surprising revelation, popular music commentator Akademiks has disclosed that Playboi Carti and Drake have collaborated on a new track, but fans should not expect it to appear on Carti’s upcoming album. During a recent livestream, Akademiks shared his excitement about the song, describing it as “fire,” but clarified that Kendrick Lamar, who is reportedly involved in the creative direction of Carti’s project, has decided against including the collaboration on the album.
Akademiks recounted his conversation with Drake, where he inquired about the track’s clearance for release. Drake responded that the song was intended for a different project, specifically his upcoming album titled “For All the Dogs.” Despite his enthusiasm for the collaboration, Akademiks emphasized that Kendrick’s influence means the song will not make it onto Carti’s album.
Throughout the livestream, Akademiks expressed his admiration for both artists, noting the song’s catchy sample and potential appeal. He urged Carti to consider releasing the track independently or to grant him the rights to leak it, given its quality. His frankness about wanting to hear the song has sparked considerable interest among fans, who are eager for any new music from the two powerhouse artists.
While the announcement has generated buzz, it also raises questions about the dynamics between Carti, Drake, and Kendrick in the current music landscape. As fans eagerly await both Carti’s album and Drake’s forthcoming project, the excitement surrounding their collaboration lingers, leaving many hopeful for future releases from both artists.
