Jace of Two-9 posted a video which features two of his older recordings, which have beats that sound very similar to tracks from Drake’s If Youre Reading This Its Too Late.
“real 6ix god boy.” Jace says on Twitter. “im not salty. Like I said…im just saying.”
The tweets are accompanied by a video that shows Jace looking through his computer archives to play a track he recorded last year.
“This song ‘Mortal Kombat’ Jace,” Jace says in the video. “ All right, I recorded this here almost a year ago, last year like June-ish, July-sish. Tell me if it sounds like anything. I’m just saying my nigga. I’m just saying.”
The beat in Jace’s recording sounds similar to the beat used in Drake’s “6 God,” which was produced by Boi-1da and SykSense. The Boi-1da and Frank Dukes-produced “No Tellin” is also implicated by Jace.
“This is a song called ‘Ain’t No Tellin,’” Jace says in the video. “I made it two years ago, 2013. Tell me if this sounds like anything. I’m just saying. I’m just saying.”
Last year, Drake was accused by Puff Daddy of stealing the beat for the song that would become “0-100.” Puff Daddy addressed the issue to a Miami crowd.
“’I want to play this next beat,’ he said in a fan-recorded visual. “I gave this shit to this nigga. This nigga stole this shit from me. But at the end of the day, it’s still hard. Play this shit.”
He then proceeds to dance with Ma$e to the Boi-1da-produced tune.
Also in 2014, Drake paid Rappin’ 4-Tay $100,000 after recording a similar verse.
“Drake borrows lyrics from 4-Tay’s ‘Playaz Club’ on YG’s ‘Who Do You Love,’” HipHopDx reported at the time. “When 4-Tay did not receive credit for the song, he criticized the YMCMB emcee. TMZ reports that the two parties reached a ‘very lucrative agreement.’”
Jace’s tweets are as follows:

UPDATE: “6 God” co-producer Syk Sense disagrees with Two-9 member Jace’s claims that Drake jacked the beat for the song.
“I don’t know why Jace put it on Twitter like that, because I was in the studio the night he did it and we had a conversation,” Syk says during an interview with allhiphop. “I said, ‘Don’t put it out there that Drake stole it, because he didn’t.’ Drake had that beat first.”
In addition to saying that he played Two-9 Drake’s version of the song, Syk also says that Drake never heard Two-9’s version of the song featuring what would become the “6 God” beat.
Well there’s enough there to get LA Reid to sign you
Roasted
How can u prove you made this that long ago though hahahah…for all anyone knows he recorded this the day after he heard drizzys tracks hahaha “I’m just saying”
The file probably has a “date created” date-stamp… like most files created on a computer…
I was thinking the same thing showed the date but didn’t show him clicking on that file and opening it to play that session
L.O.R.E. might be on to something…….. jus sayin’
If the artist haven’t paid for exclusive rights, the beat doesn’t belong to him and can be sold by the producer again. Simple as that. It’s always surprising when artists don’t aware of such basic info. Even well-known names like Killer Mike, he had an issue with 50 back then over “So Disrespectful”.
You’re so business savvy, please tell us more
Be as sarcastic as you want, that doesn’t change the correctness of my remark. The legal terms and the practice is straightforward in cases like this, unless Jace bought the beat under the terms I mentioned above he has no right to complain.
He is the producer, meant to pay himself?
everyones music is sampled from somewhere these days, thats just part of the industry. if Drake sampled that beat, the person who made that beat got inspired from something else and so on. who cares
Sampling is one thing, this situation is just plain thievery, but he’s gonna receive justification because he’s a big star, just like the shit Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne got away with, fans love to jock their favs.
Taking somebody’s beat is not the same as sampling, fucks sake
That bull we just heard the proof.
Jace, Drake, Boi 1da etc etc are fruit cakes… jus sayin’
Lol wtf is this guy ? Never even heard of him
That’s why the guy is an unknown lolollol mortal kombat jace? Sounds like garbage– title is garbage– bars are garbage-/- so waht he took your beat and remade it? You werent doing anything good with it anyway man ijs
no talent drake couldve used a different beat wit the same swag… but he had to do the same beat this guy did it dont matter if he’s drake FUCK DRAKE i would want my money im straight suing YOU DONT FUCK WIT A PERSON MUSIC THIS Y I DONT WANNA GET IN THE MMUSIC INDUSTRY NOW AND I HAD A CHANCE.. BUT SHIT LIKE THIS GET ME UPSET I HONESTLY DONT GIVE A FUCK BOUT WAT NO ONE THINKS DRAKE IS WRONG STOP DICK RIDING AND SEE DRAKE IS WRONG
Every beat beat I hear nowadays sounds like a carbon copy of another beat anyway. Just sayin’.
Over here in the six we know him as Jace and he is apart of TWO-9 a group of musicians and works alongside RETRO SU$HI.
Hating ass nigga (jace)
If he made the beat for 6 GOD he would of had the stems, in the video he doesn’t.
You clearly know nothing about a pro tools session
People’s better Learn from “BLURRED LINE’S ” When They do Audio Forensic Work on beats! A lot of people would look salty !lol.
This aint nothing new. You actually think drake comes up wit all those ideas on his own. ha!!
same thing with producers half of the industry producers just remake peoples beats they hear on youtube or sound click.
ha tellin em
The only 6 this fool be getting is 6-figure lawsuits.
if my ears are telling me the truth this nigga definitely got his beat jacked. that shit sounds EXACTLY like 6 GOD
They may not pay, but Earth will know the Truth…I feel ya’ Diddy & Jace…Drake & Boi 1-Da’s teeth are sharp; They got Robert Bullock on DJ Khaled’s “No New Friends’ – that’s his beat redone from 2004 (rb2016.wix.com/link)! Don’t sweat it, Robert – Your idea went Gold- Keep bangin’ out hits! Took 3 producers to redo a beat that old – Lord, help ’em – they just got it bad, man.
