With the first half of 2018 filled with very high highs and very low lows almost behind him, Drake must be looking to use his upcoming Scorpion album to control his narrative for the second half of the year.
He’s been taking multiple steps to raise the hype around the album and late Monday night (June 25), Drake posted a short video to his Instagram that acts like a trailer for a movie.
The cinematic video follows Drake from a house to the studio, with title screens to market the release date of Scorpion. There is no dialogue in the video, which instead features the brooding ambient track “The Mark – Interlude” by Moderat. It’s not clear if the song will somehow be part of the Scorpion.
Drake has been promoting Scorpion via billboards, his Instagram stories, and merch.
According to DJ Akademiks, don’t expect a full response track to Pusha T’s “The Story Of Adidon.” But there is reportedly an explanation from Drake on the situation from his perspective.
Scorpion is set for release on June 29.

That boy is fuckin* annoying, man!
Can’t make everybody happy!!! #life…
No more mystique, buddy. You got smoked and didn’t respond.
Story of adidon was trash tho i wouldnt have responded either lmao all pusha attempts to diss drake have been average at best besides look how long it took push to respond to 2 birds one stone
I co-sign that. I wasn’t a big fan of any of pusha’s disses. Drake bodied him with that one track. The fact that drake has so many haters in the hip hop community, and also, there are so many bandwagon riders in the hip hop community taking sides that everyone (majority rules) has made it out that pusha somehow won this battle.
Y’all drake stans are terrible man
Wow. A Canadian agreeing with himself. Your hero is done buddy. Get over it. Back to worshiping Bieber and Ryan Reynolds. They’re better rappers and more street than Drake is.
Ryan Reynolds lol lol lol
Drake didn’t body shit stupid. He came out with a public apology letter after Adidon no response on wax. That’s called an L any way you look at it. Drake has accepted it already along with his child it’s time you do too.
Let’s not let this distract you from the fact that Drake dressed in Black Face and now wants us to forget about it because he has an album coming out.
Well not the first or only black rapper to do that tbh.
He is the first to do it, and don’t say bamboozled
TF you mean dont say Bamboozled???? Thats a classic example of a black rapper dressing in black face. Dont try to re write history to support your ignorant views. Nice Try
You saw a picture from a campaign that never happened. How the fuck do you know what the message was or wasn’t! You’re reaching bro
Nothing drake does is mysterious ROFL
He’s gone back to wearing Nike lol PUSHA
Real talent can’t be denied!!! how many times did nas respond to jay?
FACTS!!
Drake makes music for homosexuals, white boys and teenage white girls. FACTS!!
Drake still has to explain, LMAO……..Nah B we good……You got checked and royally embarrassed by an old rapper with a head full of plats. This little Scorpion album is not even going to sting……Drake doesn’t have or want the smoke.
Drake gets alot of support cause he is a crossover entertainer. You can tell by his fanbase online. They come with comments like “PUSHA WENT TOO FAR” or “PUSHA TMZ” or “DRAKE SELLS MORE RECORDS” you can tell they barely started listening to hip hop. Drake is safe. The average middle class kid relates to his music. He is like will smith. Makes family friendly films and doesnt take risks. Pusha destroyed him. Plain and simple. Drake will continue to make songs that relate to middle america and pusha will continue to make classic records. The end.
I’m a Nigerian and I love Drake no homo. There goes your logic out the window.
A lot of you Nigerians are corrupt and crooked stealing and killing your own kind. You don’t count.
“We Don’t Believe You ..You need more people” (side note: before you get in the booth make sure you picked up some pampers and wet wipes)
If I ever see a scorpion I just step on it
A Classic is on the way
Stop it
It’s Scorpioooooonnnnnon SZN!!!!!!!
More like it’s losing season for dead beat Aubrey
Siiiiiiiiiiiick burn!!! ? ? ?
that feeling
what makes the people of this generation so weak, so emotionally warped and just so plain ignorant that this sissy became the ambassador of their sad, sad culture? No wonder that this is the first generation in American history that will do worse than their parents. Best of luck haha.
Who your ?
Wow great response. You’re probably high and haven’t been productive in a very long time.
preach!, church!
Give it up HHDX, ya boy is still taking L’s and ain’t gonna recover. He gonna lose all his female fans with the dead beat dad situation
But how heavy are his nuts though? Sounds like you could give me the best answer
Why are you defending this coward? Are you so ridiculous that you can’t see drake for the phony, weak person that he is? How sad is your life?
Very sad. I wake up each day to a picture of Aubrey in a wheel chair and manipulate myself. Then I play video games for several hours until my drunk mother comes down with the hose to spray me for no reason. Afterwards Drakes music is all I have to cry to… and I cry hard and beat myself with a mini baseball bat
NICE ATTEMPT AT USING AN L AS PROMOTION. L’S ARE LIKE PIECES OF SHIT THOUGH. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU POLISH IT, ITS STILL SHIT.
You guys are weird man.. maybe you hate Drake and love Pusha T but you talk about Drake taking Ls the same way Trumps supporters say he is doing great. It is delusional. This album will be Platinum in a week- you know it and I know it. All the bs Pusha tried to throw at him has been refuted man like get your own lane. Drakes haters are more obsessed with him then his fans and btw Duppy SHIT on that BS Adidon track and Drake will sell more in week 1 then all of Pushas albums combined. Just watch it will all be over soon
All you keep talking about is album sales. The only reason he sells albums is because there are far too many effeminate sissies supporting the poster child for their predicament.
Shout outs to the first rapper to get his OGs and his momma to excuse him from a rap battle. Smdh, what’s sad is all his Stans still gonna support this watered down bullshit.
Classic coming our way
YWhat makes you root for this sissy? They say hes a rapper, in the same vein as Tupac and biggie, but really he just makes whiny crybaby bs and you say it’s a classic. Have some respect for yourself man, you’re better than that.
I am not better then that. I am filthy and worthless and only Drake can make me feel better, even if it is momentarily. Otherwise I am a scumbag POS like you willing to sell my soul for the smooth sounds of Aubrey Graham. Top 5 lyricists of all time:
1) Drake
2) Gucci Mane
3) Shawty Low (RIP)
4) quavo/takeoff/offset
5) Stitches
2.5 first week
He needs a good clean shave and go back to the “Fancy” Drake era. He’s GOAT status tho regardless. Numbers dont lie.
This sissy is the greatest rapper of all time to you? How pathetic is your mindset? You have no future.
Drizzy gon go “Plat-Plat” only, yet again, don’t care about his so called baby or baby momma, that’s private family business and all I care about is those dope aced OVO hits that bump the party, then bump in the bedroom!!! F Busta T and his lame aced 3 year long 7 song project that will only be remembered because of him leaching off Aubrey’s name……again!!! Do ya thaaaang Drizzy, nuthin but love big baby!!!!!!
My thought exactly. People hollering bout him taking L’s lol like- if Drake is taking L’s as is then fuck it Im trying to take some Ls also cause last time I checked he stands alone in rap as far as consecutive platinum albums goes.
The greatest bailout of all time
I love you dearly and hope that we can one day share a milkshake with 2 straws. You beautiful bastard. Ill never stop never stopping because you and I were made for eachother and that can be as friends only, or more, if you want to play pokey man with me
who could ever relate to somebody so fake, lame ,weak, pathetic, etc. ? this days generation of internet dummys who like to roll with the mayority without ever think about quality, they just care about whoever has more streams, likes, subscriptions, and shit, just like a bunch of fucking death brain idiots
You sound obsessed. Just saying
That’s the standard drake fanboy reaponse. It’s more frustration than obsession. You silly fans have elevated Aubrey to some exhalted status and because of that his sad, whiny music is polluting our airwaves constantly. In fact it’s not really even frustration with Aubrey but more of a frustration with the suspect crybabies like yourself who would listen to a guy cry on wax and pretend that it’s quality hiphop.
You are still responding. You sound like Eminem talking about Mariah Carey bro. Ill pray for you
A true measure of success is seeing how many people, who claim to dislike him, taking the time to read articles and comment on him. Drake never been my style but these guys on here define hate is love lol. Yall really do watch Degrassi late at night stop playing
Album sales don’t make a dope artist.
Absolutely true but dude hasnt dropped a bad album yet. He makes music that some dont like but people calling him out for using ghostwriters seem to forget he also ghostwrites for others and he has pushed many artists to be better off of his sound. He can sing and rap and act and thats what makes him a good artist.
Depends on what you mean by not a bad album. Personally whining and crying isn’t my idea of quality.
But can we still be friends?
I’m here to argue! WTF! And your super hero folded in a battle. The tone of the text seems like you telling Drake”You took this L just keep your head up and you will be ok”
Yes I think he will be ok lol he is the biggest name in music. He could drop blank albums, mumble rap and nothing but crying sounds from here on out and “be ok”. But hey man- sick burn. Larry you have won in every way. The comment section king
I don’t care at this point what Drake has for PUSHA T. There is no excuse for what he did. That’s some sucka shit. He folded!
Oh but you do, & you gon pay
He will pay dearly
Please shut up. You are a poor mans poor man. A knock off version of a knock off- old Dollar Store Larry aka Boogaloo from the PJs typing his responses on the computer at the library. I feel sorry for your mother
I actually feel sorry for your mother. You used the name surge knight and then defended that human temp on. Do you even know who suge Knight is, or what’s he’s known for? There is no way suge knight (or any self respecting man) would ever rep for that crybaby. Check your facts, grow a pair and keep your opinions to yourself
Is “Surge Knight” Suges brother? And why are you so butt hurt bro you ok? Sounds like you need some Drake music more then most. Its ok we understand and we accept you. But you really should “woosaa” because you might break your screen out of anger or break your teeth from clinching your jaw so tight. I dont care what your mom says about you- I dont think you are a disgrace
Love, Suge
Good retort. You’re bringing up an auto correct spelling error to make your point. Anytime anyone talks about your boy Aubrey you feel like they’re angry and butt hurt. You’re too ignorant to see the irony in what you wrote. Using your reply, your initial statement would be butt hurt, as you mentioned that Larry Hughes’ mother would be ashamed of him for being a drake fan. Also your idol Aubrey is the poster child for crybabies so even there you lose. Admit it man, you don’t have much of a future and Aubrey’s cry-along music helps ease the pain.
good lord you are still coming back and responding to this? Yes man you are right Drakes music helps my sad poor life. Im so lost I spend my time trolling weirdos like you that keep coming back for more lol. See you in a couple hours after I have a good cry to “Thank me later”. Says a lot about you that you continue to engage with me over someone you dislike so much. Good talk
But bro seriously. Shut your mouth when you speak
But also shut your mouth before you talk to me
Gosh I hate myself.
If it wasnt for Drake who would serenade me when I am suicidal? So screw you guys for judging this big cocked beauty- only he is there for me when I am alone and scrolling comment sections looking for beefs
“Guess whos back”- Scarface feat Jay Z and Beans (prod by Kanye West) is the greatest rap song of all time
Let me tell you who runs rap- the best lyricists in the game, hands down, are:
Drake
Stitches
Bo Hagen
Lil Jon
Crunchy Black
Bhad Bhabie
Quavo
Shawty Low
Gucci Mane
