Drake and Playboi Carti have another collaboration in the stash. DJ Swamp Izzo premiered the unreleased track at an After Hours Til Dawn Tour afterparty at Zouk nightclub in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (June 25).
While Izzo gave fans a taste of the collaboration, neither Drake nor Carti’s teams have announced plans to release the track as of press time.
The Carti-Drizzy track features a sample of Luther Vandross’ cover of Dionne Warwick’s “A House is Not a Home,” which was sped up by Kanye West and used on “Slow Jamz.” Ye’s “chipmunk soul” version is the one heard on the new link-up.
Akademiks appears to have spoken about the track in question during a recent live stream, which saw him claim that he talked to Drake about it, who said it was originally slated to land on For All the Dogs, but didn’t end up making the cut.
Playboi Carti and Drake joined forces for the Pi’erre Bourne-produced “Pain 1993,” which landed on Drizzy’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes in 2020. There’s also a version of the 6 God’s “No Face” with a Carti verse, but the Atlanta rapper was removed from the official streaming edition.
Drake is said to be hard at work on his anticipated new solo album, while Carti has continued to tease his Baby Boi project, which Cardo confirmed is a “real thing,” but wasn’t sure if the effort was finished. So there is still a sliver of hope that the unreleased collab will find its way to streaming services in the future.
