Hey, guys, and welcome back to a fresh episode of Billboard Unfiltered. So in case you guys missed it, Kai Cenat, he was on a stream. Lil Yachty sent him an unreleased record from Drake and Yachty that’s called “Supersoak.” Previewed it last night, you know, got some mixed reactions to it, so curious to hear y’alls thoughts. Could this be the spark to Drake’s comeback?
Damien Scott:
Wait, so he sent it to him saying it’s unreleased?
Carl Lamarre:
Unreleased.
Damien Scott:
That’s it, there’s no other plans for it. Yeah, it sounds like an unreleased Drake song. Yeah, it’s not, doesn’t sound that special, sounds like pretty run-of-the-mill unreleased Drake song. Which is good because Drake makes good music.
Carl Lamarre:
That song could be a B-plus.
Damien Scott:
Sure.
Carl Lamarre:
OK, I can live with a B-plus.
Damien Scott:
It’s fine, I mean I would love to hear the whole thing, CDQ, but you know. Yea sure.
Carl Lamarre:
I’m curious to hear y’alls excitement as well.
Keep watching for more!
