Despite Drake being the last person to drop a track in his legendary beef with Kendrick Lamar, it seems that he’s not quite over the feud with the Compton MC.

Over the weekend the Toronto rapper shared three new tracks on his other Instagram account. The first one is a solo track titled, “Circadian Rhythm.” The second song, “Supersoak (SOD)” is a track that was teased weeks ago and previously featured Lil Yachty. But this time, only Drake was on the song. The third track, “No Face”, caused much of the conversation over the weekend, which features a verse from Playboi Carti.

In the song, Drake is heard rapping, “N****s got lit off the features I skated on/I gotta know, I gotta know/ How you get lit off the n***a you hatin’ on?/Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong. This is the moment I know they been prayin’ on/ What? Aye, what? Aye/Try knock The Boy off but f**k 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.”

He continues, “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. Quick, swap that shit out, and I came back reloaded/I’m just so happy that n****s who envied and held that shit 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?”

It’s unclear when the 6 God wrote these tracks, but it sounds like he’s referencing not only his beef with K. Dot but also all the artists who he took shots at over his myriad of diss tracks, including Rick Ross, Future, A$AP Rocky, and Metro Boomin.

Furthermore, fans are reading into the title of “Circadian Rhythm,” since Kendrick used that same phrase on his second diss track against Drake, “6:16 in LA.” Dot specifically said, “I know this type of power is gon’ cos /But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star.

The Toronto MC only added to the speculation that he wants to spin the block on Lamar, sharing a video on his fake Instagram account where former NBA player Rasheed Wallace is heard saying, “We will win game 2.”

Naturally, many hip-hop fans on social media clowned Drizzy, adding to the basketball reference by saying that Kendrick already won the hypothetical series against the Toronto MC.

Does Drake really have something planned for Kendrick? Or are these empty speculations that will lead to nothing? Either way, all of hip-hop will be tuned in to what Drake does next, whether some fans want to admit it or not.
