Drake and Popcaan will be coming together once again, as the latter has announced a new collab titled “We Caa Done.”
Poppy announced the song with a preview on Twitter on Wednesday (January 4), two days ahead of its scheduled release.

The track will likely live on the dancehall artist’s forthcoming fifth LP Great Is He, which was set to arrive at the end of 2022 but has yet to materialize.
Check out a sample of what to expect below:
Popcaan signed to Drizzy’s OVO imprint in 2016, and was quick to defend his label head amid a dispute with fellow dancehall artist Mr. Vegas.
Following the release of VIEWS, Vegas called Drake “fake” for not properly crediting the dancehall artists he featured on the album, including Beenie Man and Popcaan himself.
“Why did Drake link Beenie Man to on sing back that record if that’s the one he wanted? Or why let Beenie Man do something new?” Vegas asked during an interview with Ebro In The Morning at the time. “So then I’m listening to the record further and at the end of the record when the record done, you can hear the record fin, Beenie Man doing the outro. So I’m like, Drake is rampaning my artists. You using my artists as intro men.”
Mr. Vegas was referencing “Controlla,” which includes a Beenie Man sample from his song, “Tear Off Mi Garment.” A leaked version of the song also included Popcaan, though it didn’t make the final cut of the album. A sample of Poppy’s “Luh Yuh Bad” did make “Too Good” with Rihanna, however, and both dancehall artists are credited on the respective songs.

In a since-deleted response, Popcaan pledged allegiance to his OVO clique and assured Mr. Vegas that his help wasn’t needed.
“OVO Unruly, we don’t need your help. Don’t try to violate my brother now,” Poppy said. “You don’t know anything about Unruly or OVO. You don’t need to defend Popcaan.”
