Drake Teases Unreleased Collaboration with Kendrick Lamar Amid Ongoing Beef.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rivalry continues to heat up, but recent footage of an unreleased collaboration between the two has fans reminiscing about a time when the two rap giants were on better terms. Drake recently uploaded a video to his 100 Gigs website showing him and longtime collaborator Noah “40” Shebib in the studio, discussing a track meant for Lamar.
In the video, Drake and 40 are seen listening to a “crazy” beat, which Drake praised highly. “For him, where he’s at, I know he’s gonna murder that sh*t,” Drake said, referring to Kendrick. 40 echoed the sentiment, saying, “When he told me Kendrick, it just made so much sense. Oh, the brilliance! So good.” Unfortunately, the collaboration never saw the light of day, and the beat was eventually used by Action Bronson on his 2015 track “Actin’ Crazy.”
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s musical history goes back over a decade. The two first collaborated on “Buried Alive Interlude” from Drake’s 2011 album Take Care, followed by the 2012 hit “F**kin’ Problems” featuring 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky, and their final collaboration, “Poetic Justice,” on Lamar’s acclaimed album good kid, m.A.A.d city in 2013.
However, their relationship soured in 2013 when Kendrick called out the entire rap industry, including Drake, in his notorious verse on “Control” and during the BET Hip-Hop Awards cypher. The feud escalated, with the two trading subliminal disses over the years, reaching a new peak earlier this year.
From March to May, both rappers released a string of diss tracks that reignited their beef. Kendrick’s aggressive bars and cutting lyrics on tracks like “The Heart Part 6” positioned him as the public’s declared winner of their latest back-and-forth. Meanwhile, Drake responded

Drake’s 100 Gigs platform has become a hotspot for fans eagerly following the ongoing rivalry. The Toronto superstar has used the site to drop a series of exclusive tracks, including those taking shots at Lamar. As the feud continues, fans are left wondering if the two will ever bury the hatchet or if this battle will define a generation of hip-hop.
While Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s past collaborations hint at what could have been a powerful partnership, their rivalry now dominates the narrative. As both continue to release music, fans can only speculate on what’s next for these two rap icons—whether it’s more diss tracks, another collaboration, or something entirely unexpected.
