Fueling the buzz surrounding the up-and-comer, Drizzy took to his Instagram Stories on Monday (March 4) to share a screenshot of an audio file called âDate @ 8 REMIX S5V6b.â
In the post, he tagged 4Batz and his longtime producer Noah â40â Shebib alongside smiling devil emojis.
Drakeâs post came just hours after 4Batz asked his 587,000 Instagram followers who they wanted on the remix of âact ii: date @ 8.â

Timbaland previously put out the idea of Drake remixing âact ii: date @ 8â in January.
âUh oh, who dis kid? 4Batz. Dallas, yâall got one,â he said in an Instagram video while listening to the song for the first time. âThink yâall got one with this one. Yo, his tone is crazy.

Drake even acknowledged Timboâs suggestion by liking an Instagram post about a potential collaboration between them.
The Toronto rapper later linked up with 4Batz in person, with the pair seen having a conversation during a concert in February.
âact ii: date @ 8â is only the singerâs third official release alongside its prequel âact i: stickerz â99â˛â and sequel âact iii: on god? (she like),â which was released last week.
Drake is not the only big name in 4Batzâs corner, with Kanye West and SZA among those who have also co-signed him.

The ski mask-clad star posted a photo of himself on FaceTime with Ye earlier this year, while the Chicago rap icon also named 4Batz as his favorite new artist.
It was reported in January that the viral sensation was at the center of a major label bidding war that involved Republic Records, Atlantic Records and Warner Records, although a deal has yet to be announced.
