Kendrick Lamar lived up to a “promise” he made to himself on “euphoria” just a couple of days ago. “Back To Back,” I like that record / I’ma get back to that, for the record.” It turns out he really did have something else cooking, as Kendrick Lamar has just dropped “6:16 in LA.” The song was released on his Instagram just about an hour ago, and like “euphoria,” it is sending the internet into a frenzy.
“6:16 in LA” sees K-Dot ride a more laid-back instrumental with some pretty synths, minimal drums and guitar, as well as a soulful vocal loop. As for the disses, Lamar takes aim at the Drake stans like DJ Akademiks, “Yeah, somebody’s lyin’, I could see the vibes on Ak’ / Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers back.” He also suggests that people over at OVO are working for him and praying on Drake’s downfall in this beef. “Have you ever thought that OVO was workin’ for me?… Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it / Can’t “Toosie Slide” up out of this one, it’s just gon’ resurface.”

Kendrick also calls out how The Boy has been using memes to poke and prod him to respond. “You’re playin’ dirty with Zack Bia and Twitter bots / But your reality can’t hide behind Wi-Fi / Your lil’ memes is losing steam, they figured you out.” As for the title of the track, Genius feels this is another reference to something that Drake is known for. What we mean is “euphoria” was calling back to the Netflix show Euphoria, something that he had a hand in. “6:16 in LA” plays on the timestamp series that Drake has. There is a lot more to breakdown with this surprise release, so be sure to stick around.

Quotable Lyrics:
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin’ where I was from
Austin, I know this type of power is gon’ cost, but I live in cicadian rhythms of a shooting star
The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art
But I pick the carcass apart
Yeah, somebody’s lyin’, I could see the vibes on Ak’
Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers back
