Drake teases new solo music while Playboi Carti’s album I AM MUSIC raises questions about Drake’s involvement

Drake has teased fans with exciting news about his upcoming music, confirming that he has been “locked in” and working on solo material.

In a message to DJ Akademiks, Drake shared that he is fully immersed in the creative process, stating, “I’m in the zone, it’s just me.” He made it clear that his upcoming music will be entirely solo, unlike his previous collaborative projects like $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U and Her Loss, signaling that fans can expect a focused, Drake-only experience.

While Drake’s solo work is generating excitement, DJ Akademiks also shared updates on Playboi Carti’s highly anticipated album I AM MUSIC.

According to Akademiks, Drake recorded a guest verse for Carti’s album, but he expressed doubts that it would make the final cut. This uncertainty stems from Akademiks’ claim that Kendrick Lamar is allegedly the creative director of I AM MUSIC, which could lead to the exclusion of Drake’s involvement.

However, Carti’s producer, F1LTHY, quickly denied the rumor, stating that I AM MUSIC is fully Carti’s vision and that Lamar is not in charge of its direction.

Despite the conflicting details, both artists’ projects are highly anticipated. Drake’s confirmation of his upcoming solo album has stirred excitement among fans, especially since his last major release was $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U in February 2024.

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti’s I AM MUSIC continues to generate buzz, especially with its star-studded features and the mystery surrounding one unnamed collaborator.
