Drake has delivered an early Christmas present for his fans.
At midnight on Tuesday (Dec. 24), Drizzy released a new track called “War.” On the AXL Beats-produced song, the 6 God appears to have confirmed that he and the Weeknd have squashed their past differences and are amicably now.
“And the boy that sounds like he sang on Thriller/You know that’s been my nigga/Yeah, we just had to fix things/Family, 6 tings, we can’t split up,” he rap-sings on the song.
Near the end, Drake delivers lyrical jabs at his haters praying for his downfall. “Everyone I know has code names/Anyone that I’m beefin’ with are no names/Niggas can’t even win home games/They just have to fall in line like Soul Train,” he spits on the track.
Additionally, Drake released an accompanying music video featuring him spitting his braggadocios bars in a fluorescent blue tint at a holiday party with his close friends. We also see the OVO Sound honcho riding on snowmobiles and skiing with his friends in the snow-capped mountains.
“War” marks Drake’s first new solo release since the summer, a time in which he dropped “Omertà” and “Money in the Grave” with Rick Ross. Drizzy hasn’t said anything about a new project as of late, but a while back, he did say his album was just about done. So maybe fans will be getting a new project from Drizzy soon.
Drake, who hasn’t dropped a full-length studio album since 2018’s Scorpion, had a phenomenal 2019. He completed a successful Assassination Vacation Tour run earlier this year and raked in $75 million from music streams.
