For anyone who is still holding out hope to rock out to an official version the recently leaked track “Super Soak” by Drake and Lil Yachty, may be in luck. The unofficial low quality version has been creating buzz online, but it hasn’t been officially dropped due to a sample clearance issue.
The song samples “Goodness Gracious” by Mr. Hotspot, who has outlined the conditions for its clearance.
He at least is making it known … Here’s what’s up.
During a recent TikTok Live session, Mr. Hotspot explained, “We recorded them a clean reference. We sent that in to them so hopefully, they re-record the clean reference and we come out with the clean ‘Goodness Gracious’ all together. It’s a process but it’ll be good for both of their brands like that and I’m blessed to work with children so we just gotta make it clean for them.”
Get this, talk about enlightenment, Mr. Hotspot, who recently underwent a religious conversion, emphasized the importance of clean lyrics for the sake of children. “We ain’t trying to hold them back from nothing but we just need the morals correct, that’s all,” he said.
ICYMI, the leak of “Super Soak” gained traction after Kai Cenat played it during one of his streams, prompting fans to rip the audio. Lil Yachty, speaking on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, provided further context. “He went down, like, a Christian path,” Lil Yachty said, explaining that Mr. Hotspot wasn’t interested in financial compensation for the sample, leading Cenat to leak the track since there was no official release in sight.
Here’s how Yachty spoke on it further … ”I don’t think we got into money. He was like, ‘No.’ It was crazy. Everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?’” Yachty recounted, noting that despite the lack of clearance for DSP release, he and Drake could still profit from performing the song live. Yachty faced backlash for leaking the track, knowing Mr. Hotspot’s religious reasons for withholding official release approval.
For those who are not up to speed, “Super Soak” is the latest collaboration between Drake and Lil Yachty, following their October release of “Another Late Night” from Drake’s album “For All The Dogs.”
