Who Did Drake Diss On ‘8AM In Charlotte?’

At midnight (October 6), Drake will finally deliver his For All The Dogs album. (He’s supposed to, anyway.) He has already released “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and warned an ex-lover, “I’m slimin’ you for them kid choices you made.” But “8AM In Charlotte” might be taking more acute aim at someone.

The new song arrived early Thursday, October 5, exclusively on Drake’s Instagram page. Throughout, Drake name-drops the likes of 21 Savage (his It’s All A Blur Tour co-headliner), Central Cee, Shania Twain, T.D. Jakes, and Lauryn Hill, but it’s all in a playful light. In fact, there aren’t any explicit disses at all, but fans have a theory that the third verse is a veiled shot at Kanye West.

“Conspiracy theories start floatin’ ’round like the Kennedy guy,” Drake raps. “I’ll prolly hold a grudge against you guys ’til I’m seventy-five / Ayy, n****s lyin’ for a livin’, I couldn’t relate / We all gotta lay in the bed we make, but that couldn’t be Drake / You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face / That’s why you got deserted by your n****s like puddin’ and cake / I got you on camera bowin’ down, but the footage is safe / Thank God, another USB to put in the safe.”

On X (formerly known as Twitter), people have correlated these bars to a video of Drake bowing down to Ye after bringing him out as a guest during his Summer Sixteen Tour. There’s also the outside chance that the mention of “conspiracy theories” and “lyin’ for a livin’” is related to his beef with Pusha T and Ye that crescendoed in 2018 with the public reveal of Drake’s son, Adonis. (Is it a coincidence that the “8AM In Charlotte” video stars Adonis?)

At any rate, Lil Yachty teased that Drake “deals with some controversial things” across For All The Dogs, and “8AM In Charlotte” might fall under that umbrella.

Drake‘s highly anticipated new album For All The Dogs allegedly arrives tomorrow (October 6), though it’s fair to be skeptical after a couple delays. However, he unveiled the single and video “8AM In Charlotte” today, which is a good sign. Though Lil Yachty has some producing credits on the LP, another producer took on this song.

Who produced Drake’s “8AM In Charlotte?”

Conductor Williams produced “8AM In Charlotte.” Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Denzel “Conductor” Williams has produced for plenty of beloved hip hop artists such as Mach-Hommy, Westside Gun, Tyler The Creator, and Remy Banks.

About For All The Dogs, Lil Yachty explained working on it with Drake. “I think some of the best Drake verses that I ever heard are on this album,” he said. He continued about the subject matter, “Some of the verses I’m just like, ‘Bruh, what’s wrong with you?’ You know what I’m saying?” he said. “People gonna have a lot to say about some of his topics on this album. And I don’t think he does it on purpose, I think it’s just him — he just has a real… I will say he deals with some controversial things.”

Would it be a Drake timestamp single if it didn’t get a lil spicy? Drake dropped “8AM in Charlotte” overnight, featuring his son Adonis and a gang of squad flanking the rapper in a warehouse. As with everyhting Drake, people got to breaking down the lyrics, circling around the third verse and suggesting it might be aimed at Kanye West.

Handle beef so quiet, you think that I’m lettin’ it slide
Next thing you know, we tip-toein’ past enemy lines
Diss me so long ago, we making your memories fly
Conspiracy theories start floatin’ ’round like the Kennedy guy
I’ll prolly hold a grudge against you guys ’til I’m seventy-five
Ayy, niggas lyin’ for a livin’, I couldn’t relate
We all gotta lay in the bed we make, but that couldn’t be Drake
You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face
That’s why you got deserted by your niggas like puddin’ and cake
I got you on camera bowin’ down, but the footage is safe
Thank God, another USB to put in the safe

Here’s An Explanation Of Drake’s ‘For All The Dogs’ Album Cover From Its Artist, Adonis Graham

Drake loves surprises. He surprised fans with “Slime You Out” featuring SZA last month. He surprised Halle Berry by using her image and likeness for the cover of “Slime You Out,” without her permission. And though it surprised absolutely nobody when “Slime You Out,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Drake couldn’t help but toss out another unexpected single on Thursday morning, October 5.

“8AM In Charlotte” arrived exclusively on Instagram alongside a video starring Adonis Graham, his nearly six-year-old son who drew the cover for Drake’s imminent For All The Dogs album cover. In it, an off-camera Drake asks Adonis to “tell me about your beautiful piece of artwork that you sold me.”

“So, it’s the same story,” Adonis said. “So, the goat was running away from the other monsters and the other animals, and a flower [was] blocking the way. So, the flower was on fire. The racing car was maybe helping the goat, and there was some stairs who’s like a jail stairs, and there was one person who was, like, on top, and he got killed by the track.”

And when Drake wanted to confirm whether what Adonis just said was “like a little story,” Adonis muttered “yes” in an exasperated tone that suggested, Duh, Dad, what else would it be? Drake then asked why Adonis drew the letters “SBW,” which led to an explanation that Adonis simply wanted to write those letters without any further meaning, but then we got to the good stuff.

“And Daddy’s name is next to the goat,” Drake said. “Does that mean that he’s the GOAT?” Adonis, again, confirms with a hushed “yes,” followed by an elaboration that the character is actually “Daddy GOAT,” but Adonis drew the line at disclosing how much he was compensated for his drawing (“Oh, please”).

Drake has yet to confirm the For All The Dogs tracklist, but considering the album is due out at midnight (October 6), we can probably assume that “8AM In Charlotte” will be on it. But then again, he does love surprises.

Will Drake’s ‘8AM In Charlotte’ Be On ‘For All The Dogs?’

Throughout his career, Drake has occasionally released tracks that have collectively become known as “timestamp songs” because of their titles. The latest of them is “8AM In Charlotte,” which Drake unexpectedly dropped on social media a few hours ago. Given that Drake’s new album For All The Dogs is set to release at midnight on Friday (October 6), that begs the question:

Will Drake’s “8AM In Charlotte” be on For All The Dogs?

Drake hasn’t yet revealed a tracklist for the album, so at the moment, the answer to that question isn’t clear. Given that Drake released the song just hours before For All The Dogs, though, it would be natural to think that yes, it will be on the album.

However, there’s also some historical precedent to consider. As aforementioned, Drake has released a number of timestamp songs before and those have had a mixed record when it comes to making it onto an album. “7AM On Bridle Path” was included on Certified Lover Boy, but that’s actually the only timestamp song to make it into a proper album: “6PM In New York” was on If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (a mixtape, not an album), “4PM In Calabasas” and “5AM In Toronto” appear on Care Package (a compilation of previously unreleased material, not an album), and “9AM In Dallas” was only included on some deluxe editions of Thank Me Later.

So, while the answer isn’t definitive as of this post, it will be soon (assuming Drake actually follows through with releasing For All The Dogs on Friday).

Drake Unexpectedly Released ‘8AM In Charlotte’ Exclusively On Social Media Via An Adorable Adonis-Featuring Video

Drake’s new project, For All The Dogs, is scheduled to drop just hours from now, but Drake came through with a pre-album surprise late last night/early this morning (October 5): He released the video for “8AM In Charlotte” exclusively on his Instagram page (OVO Sound posted it on X (formerly Twitter), too.)

The six-minute visual starts with Drake’s son Adonis explaining a drawing he made, which appears to be the same one from which the For All The Dogs cover art originated. Off-camera, Drake instructs, “Adonis, tell me about your beautiful piece of artwork that you sold me.” From there, Adonis tells a winding story about all the elements in the drawing, about a goat running away from monsters, a flower, a race car, some stairs, and more.

Drake then asks, “Do you want to talk about how much money you got for your beautiful drawing?” Adonis gives a dismissive, “Oh, please,” which got a laugh from Drake.

The visual then gets into the actual song, which features Drake rapping along to the track as he and Adonis dance and strike poses along to the song.

SZA Has To Cancel Toronto Show Due To Illness

by

Earlier today, SZA gave fans expecting to see her in Toronto tonight quite a shock. Because she was having trouble logging into Twitter, she took to Instagram to share that she was sick. “I wanted to let you know got sick after jersey and I’m here in Toronto taking a z pack n hella steroids . My body is semi able but my voice is shot I’m trying my best to make it tonight !!! I really need your support I don’t wanna cancel,” she told fans in her caption. That sparked hundreds of responses from fans debating whether she should reschedule the show or try and push through it.

Even though she was seemingly trying her best to put on a show, ultimately it didn’t work out. Whether it was because she was feeling too bad or because she couldn’t sing, her concert in Toronto was cancelled. In the announcement she promises her fans that she will be back but no immediate rescheduling plan was made public. Check out the official announcement she shared below.

SZA Cancels Toronto Show But Promises To Be Back

Recently, SZA and Drake teamed up for the very first time on a new single. The track was called “Slime You Out” and immediately shot all the way up to the number one spot on the Hot 100. The achievement made her the only artist to find herself at the number one spot on the top 100 this year. BTS member Jung Kook could potentially come for that title if he can debut his new single “3D” with Jack Harlow at the top spot.

Unfortunately it didn’t stick there and fell all the way outside the top 10 to number 12. It isn’t all bad news for SZA though as the song falling allowed her track “Snooze” to rise up to its peak of number 2. Between “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” she’s had two of the biggest hit songs of the year already. What do you think of SZA being forced to cancel her concert due to sickness? Let us know in the comment section below.
