Drake and Playboi Carti’s Unreleased Music: A Potential Collaboration Rekindling Fan Hopes
Is this the start of a new era? With a new Drake track featuring a flip of Twista’s “Slow Jamz” played at Playboi Carti’s “After Hours til Dawn Tour” afterparty, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Could this be the sign of a renewed collaborative effort between the two artists, possibly silencing the rumors of a rift and heralding a new wave of musical innovation?
The Spark: DJ Swamp Izzo’s Teaser
The anticipation began on Wednesday (June 25) night. DJ Swamp Izzo, during Playboi Carti’s afterparty at Zouk Los Angeles, played a snippet of an unreleased track by the Toronto hitmaker. This unexpected preview was not just a casual selection; the track’s sample, mirroring Twista’s “Slow Jamz” (which itself samples Luther Vandross’ “A House Is Not a Home”), instantly captured attention. It signaled something more than just a DJ’s playlist choice—it sparked speculation about a potential **Drake** and Playboi Carti collaboration.
A Familiar Sample and a Familiar Absence
The familiar sample was a clear nod to the past, reminding fans of the shared musical history between the two artists. However, the absence of Playboi Carti’s vocals in the snippet could be interpreted in a few ways. It could suggest a work in progress, a tease for something bigger, or simply a strategic move to build anticipation. These creative decisions are designed to generate buzz within the music community.
Addressing Past Rumors
The shared anticipation comes with a backdrop of speculation. Rumors of tension between **Drake** and Playboi Carti arose after Carti’s absence from Drake’s “No Face,” a collaboration that was teased but didn’t make the final cut of Drake’s project. These types of situations often fuel fan theories and industry gossip, making the unveiling of a new collaboration even more significant.
The Kendrick Lamar Factor
Adding to the intrigue is Playboi Carti’s collaboration with Kendrick Lamar. Many read the lines in Lamar’s verse on “GOOD CREDIT” as a potential veiled reference to the 6 God. This has fueled speculation about beef, making any future collaborations even more headline-worthy.
What’s Next for Drake and Playboi Carti?
While concrete details remain scarce, the playing of an unreleased **Drake** track at Playboi Carti’s event is a compelling sign. The future of their collaborative relationship could have a major impact on the hip-hop scene. Fans and industry insiders are now eagerly awaiting further developments.
Beyond the Afterparty
Beyond the specific song teased, the timing is interesting. The Weeknd’s “After Hours Til Dawn Tour,” where Playboi Carti made his appearance, continues. Meanwhile, Drake has a busy schedule, including his “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR. Whether the collaboration is just a one-off track or part of a larger project remains to be seen.
