Drake announces new solo album during Kick livestream with Adin Ross while promoting $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
Drake has confirmed he is working on a new solo album during a livestreamed gambling session with popular content creator Adin Ross. The announcement came during their 'Stake vs Drake & Adin' broadcast on Kick, where the rapper casually dropped the news while placing bets. 'Working on a new album right now… it slaps,' Drake said, later clarifying that it's a solo project. Fans in the chat reacted enthusiastically, flooding the stream with fire emojis. DJ Akademiks also joined the stream to assist in betting decisions. The project will be Drake's ninth solo studio album and follows his recent collaboration with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which features tracks like 'Nokia,' 'Gimme A Hug,' and 'Somebody Loves Me.' Though initially scheduled to tour Australia in February for the "Anita Wynn Max" tour, Drake has postponed those dates to late 2025 due to scheduling issues. This latest livestream highlights the growing intersection between music, gaming, and digital media. Drake's increasing presence on Kick reflects how artists are using platforms like it to engage fans directly—on their own terms. His unscripted, real-time interactions create an event-like atmosphere, offering fans both access and entertainment. As streaming platforms become central to modern entertainment, 'Stake vs Drake & Adin' is more than a casual promo—it's part of a cultural shift. Livestreaming is no longer fringe; it's now a mainstream tool for artists to control their narrative and connect with audiences beyond traditional media. Drake's approach signals where the industry is headed: a blend of immediacy, personality, and participation.

Drake Breaks With Tradition On The Radio With Multiple Rising Hits
Drake earns three rising hits from Some Sexy Songs for You, but Kendrick Lamar outshines him with ... More four from GNX and replaces himself at No. 1. LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 30: Drake speaks onstage during Drake's Till Death Do Us Part rap battle on October 30, 2021 in Long Beach, California. (Photo by) Drake has spent more than a decade dominating nearly every Billboard ranking there is. It's not unusual to see his name appear multiple times on a single tally, especially when he has a new project out. But this week, he's doing something slightly different, even for him. While he often spreads out his hits, selecting one single to focus on for each radio format – as is common music industry practice – he's currently gaining ground with several tracks from the same project. All of the wins that belong to Drake on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart this frame come from his recent collaborative effort Some Sexy Songs 4 U, created with fellow musician PartyNextDoor, and they're all on the way up. 'Give Me a Hug,' one of the standout solo cuts from Some Sexy Songs 4 U, improves from No. 10 to No. 8. Just behind it, 'Nokia' rockets from No. 36 to No. 28. Lower on the ranking, 'Somebody Loves Me,' which features PartyNextDoor, steps up from No. 37 to No. 31 this period. None of the tracks from Some Sexy Songs 4 U that are currently charting on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay list have been around for long. 'Give Me a Hug' is the longest-running hit, and it has only spent four weeks on the ranking. The other two—'Nokia' and 'Somebody Loves Me'—both debuted just one frame ago, though they may stick around for weeks to come as they rise. While Drake is soaring with three tracks from Some Sexy Songs 4 U, his frequent chart rival Kendrick Lamar also fills multiple spaces on the same radio list — and he actually manages to outdo his fellow hip-hop superstar. Lamar currently claims four spots on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, mostly thanks to tunes from his new album GNX. 'Luther,' the set's current single, holds at No. 2 this week. 'TV Off,' a fan-favorite with Lefty Gunplay, slips slightly from No. 1 to No. 3. Two more cuts also appear on the same tally at the same time, as 'Squabble Up' holds steady at No. 11, while 'Peekaboo,' which credits AZChike, debuts at No. 35. Perhaps the most impressive chart move connected to Lamar this frame is that he replaces himself at No. 1. 'TV Off' loses its crown – but it's '30 for 30,' another smash he's credited on, that takes its place. The song, another joint effort with SZA, bolts from No. 5 to No. 1.
