Drake just hit the follow button on up-and-coming Los Angeles rapper Blueface’s Instagram profile and apparently now, they have a song produced by Boi-1da on the way.
The Famous Cryp posted screenshots of Drizzy following him on the platform as well as the direct messages he sent, to his Instagram Story.
In the unveiled messages, Drake immediately begins praising the bubbling rapper’s single “Deadlocs.”
“Trust me shits about to poppppp once people catch up,” the 6 God promises. “You know I’m always ready to cook. Boi 1da got a beat he made for us that slaps so hard.”
A quick search on Instagram shows that Champagne Papi really is following Blueface on Instagram.
Drake has a reputation of using his power to hop on the music of artists he believes in, thus blowing them up. It happened with Migos’ “Versace,” JB Bloc Boy’s “Look Alive” and more recently, Lil Baby’s “Yes Indeed.”
Both 21 Savage and Lil Baby agree that Drake’s co-sign helped catapult them into mainstream fame, so when Drake tells Blueface, “Trust me shits about to poppppp,” believe it.
Peep Drake and Blueface’s IG exchange below.
Just another Wave for Drake to ride
Today’s “rap” music is about as shitty as it gets. Drake is monotone, fake and repetitive. Fake ass beats, computer music and depressing lyrics. Everyone’s out to get him, mock him, blah blah blah…His taste in music is equally shitty.
I’m trying to figure out what is it that I’m missing…this track is nothing to right home about.
lock this shit in a vault.. blueface’s best friends need to step up & tell him he sounds diarrhea induced shit. on the dead locs
im starting to believe this generation of rappers actually hates hip hop & they trying to run it into the ground. if thats not the case & they actually like this song, you’re most definitely a crack baby.
I need to sanitize my ears with some Slim Jesus after listening to this trash..
A. HOT. MESS.
AHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Is this what Drake backed hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
music politics blunt example its not what you know but who you know lmao to anyone who clicked play bruh hahahahahah you got played so hard this shit sound like a prank this shit sound like invest your money in these rechargeable toothpicks this shit sound like I got a co sign from Drake gon head drop them bandz on me FACE ASS LMAO
I wish him the best.
Real funny how people go from laughing at who Drake co-signs at first by often calling them terrible or meh initially (I remember this with ASAP, Migos, Blockboy, Kodak Black, Future, Kendrick Lamar (yes he had a following but many weren’t sold on him), Weeknd, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Lil Baby etc) and then, once the artist becomes big and more mainstream, saying Drake simply rode their wave or he’s a culture vulture. What wave does Blueface have? Explain now? You all down here hating it so 6 months to a year from now, please don’t switch as usual. Drake doesn’t need him. Never heard of dude but I just listened to it and he actually has some smart relatable one liners and a unique flow. Wouldn’t second guess Drake. He basically built the sing-song rap era we are living in right now, determine who deserves attention. and who doesn’t, love it or hate it.
Drake doesn’t put in any decent or lyrical rappers because he knows they’ll be competition. He only puts on people who have gimics or have the potential to be on hit wonders. It would be better for the culture if he put on people who would actually compete with him. (he would rather take their concepts and ideas) This blueface guy needs to work on his flow. His flow his offbeat. Blockboy jb might have a hit song but he doesn’t talk about anything in his music. I call this shit automaton rap. I would rather listen to aware rappers whether you’re talking about street shit or righteous shit. Pop rap with no substance sucks.
Yeah. That’s why he has joints with Kendrick Lamar, Migos, Future, Weekend, ASAP Rocky, YG, Meek Mill all early in their careers – those guys are one-hit wonders, right? Get real man
I didn’t know Flex Alexander started banging
Bro Drake has respect as an artist and he has a following thats largely based on his Pop Rap stuff… Nuff Said.. He is a Pop Artist… If you defend blueface because Drake Follows him then you are kinda dumb.. He goes completely against the elements of music first, second he is butchering the form of music that is Rap. 3rd this guy is not good.. More Power to anyone trying to make music! but if you and your music sucks stop it, simple as that
So you should just stop and not even try to improve or change?
He sounds like people I had recorded when they first started rapping. Didn’t understand rap song or any song structure really. They had to be educated about bars and all that.
