Drake‘s son Adonis has officially launched his rap career with the release of his debut single, while his superstar father continues to dominate the Billboard charts.
Serving as the six-year-old’s first official track, “My Man Freestyle” was released on Sunday (October 15) following a preview of the track at the end of “Daylight” from Drizzy’s latest album For All the Dogs.

The song, produced by Lil Esso, was released independently on streaming platforms, along with a basketball-themed music video on Drake’s YouTube channel. The clip features a cameo from Toronto Raptors rookie Gradey Dick.
“I was waiting for this moment to arrive/ I was driving in the car and I mash my car/ I was playing on my iPad and I broke my iPad/ I am going to my house, see my dad/ I am saying hi to my dad and I have to go change/ I’m playing basketball,” Adonis raps on the song.
