Did Drake just diss LeBron James and Kendrick Lamar, or are commentators taking AI bait? Last night, ahead of Drake's forthcoming Iceman album, a track called “1AM In Albany” surfaced on the internet, featuring the voice of Drake taking aim at some high-profile rivals and former friends. The artist has yet to comment.
Among those included in the mysterious diss track are Joe Budden and Kendrick Lamar, as well as potentially Dr. Dre and LeBron. The NBA star showed up for Kendrick’s Pop-Out concert during his beef with Drake, which would explain the track aiming at the King.
“I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up,” he says in one line, seemingly referencing James. “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n—, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”
This track comes on the heels of their well-documented feuding over the past two years. “Muggsy Bogues dunked for once, even I'm a bit amazed,” he raps. “Someone give the kid a raise."
