DJ Drama and Queen Latifah are working on something special.

DJ Drama’s gearing up to drop off a new album. Ever since the resurgence of Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, Drama’s laid out some massive plans. Not only does he have a few mixtapes in the work with legendary artists, but his follow-up to Quality Street Music 2 is currently in the works. The project is reportedly titled, I’m Really Like That. As you’d expect, there’s going to be a flurry of collaborators on board, including those that have contributed to the Gangsta Grillz series.

The rapper shared a few details surrounding I’m Really Like That recently. He previously shared a photo on Instagram that hinted at a few people he’s working with. Among those are Generation Now signees Jack Harlow and Lil Uzi Vert. However, there are also some major players that he’s worked with in the past, like Gucci Mane and Freddie Gibbs. Additionally, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Offset, and Doe Boy have cooked up Drama’s highly-anticipated next body of work. 

DJ Drama x Queen Latifah?

In anticipation of his next album, it appears that Drama’s already started to cook up new visuals. The Philly native shared photos of himself and Queen Latifah on the set of some sort of video shoot where they recreated a few scenes from Juice. “If you know my story, then you know what this means to me,” he said in an Instagram post. “@queenlatifah I love you [heart emoji] you are truly THEE QUEEN,” he added before hinting that Jim Jones potentially directed the music video. 

Juelz Santana appears to have some sort of involvement in the shoot. Drama and Juelz are currently working on We In Motion, a new Gangsta Grillz mixtape and the Dipset rapper’s first project since his release from prison. Juelz chimed in on Instagram, praising Queen Latifah and confirming his role in the shoot. “Honored To Meet The 1 N Only @queenlatifah not only that I got to re N act 1 of my fav seance from my favorite movie with her WOW… If U Know U Know… LEGENDARY Couldn’t Let Her Leave Without A Pic,” he captioned the post. We’ll keep you posted with more updates on Drama, Juelz, and Queen Latifah’s shoot. Check Drama’s post above.
