Drake has always been quite prolific. Just in 2022 alone he surprise dropped his turn towards house music Honestly, Nevermind then followed it up with his full-length 21 Savage collab Her Loss. Now there could be even more new Drake material coming soon. He's been teasing his new album For All The Dogs since he dropped a book of poetry last month. Now in a new quote, Drake is explaining the reason for his frequent drops and taking on critics who say he releases too much music.
"People like to complain about how much music I put out. But I look around at all these faces and I know it's summertime, I gotta give you [new music]," the rapper explained. "I don't know about these guys that go away for 3,4,5 years that wanna chill out and all that. That's not me." While Drake doesn't name any names specifically or even try to start any beef with rappers who do make that choice, fans quickly filled in some of the blanks. Comments underneath the post frequently brought up two names in particular. "Carti n Uzi need to take sum notes." one said. Lil Uzi Vert just followed up their 2020 project Eternal Atake with the long-teased Pink Tape and might have even more music coming soon. Playboi Carti fans are still waiting on a follow-up to 2020's Whole Lotta Red.
