A late-night drop off.

Whew, boy. Friday (January 31) is turning out to be one helluva a release date. Lil Wayne finally dropped his highly-anticipated Funeral at midnight, albeit West Coast time, and while fans are streaming and re-streaming the record, the OVO SoundCloud quietly leaked a Drake-Future collab. There's been much chatter about the two rappers' forthcoming What a Time to Be Alive 2, but they have yet to divulge on what we can expect.

Two weeks ago, Future dropped off his "Life Is Good" hit featuring Drake, a hint that WATTBA2 is coming sooner than later. It's unclear if "Desires" is a track that just didn't make it to the album or if it's an official leak to hype the project, but either way, get ready for a Drake and Future takeover in 2020. Check it out and leave your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

Self-control has never been your thing
Don't think it'll help if there's a ring with a rock in it 
Where I'm from they serve the soda clean
You come from a city where there's lean with the rock in it
How the f*ck you keep so many secrets
How you goin' vegan but still beefin' with me again
