Drake's ICEMAN: Bar-Heavy or Chart-Topping?

0:00On April 3rd, Drake's team is pushing him to load up his upcoming album Isemen with heavy bars instead of pop hits, and word is, he listened. One close associate named Bende Don says he's straight-told Drake, they need more lyricism, and the Toronto star replied, say no more, even cutting, tracks to fit them in. DJ academics caught wind of this and shut it down hard on his live stream. He argues, Isemen needs smash singles to rule the charts, clubs, and radio for the next year, not just deep cuts for the heads. Fans and pundits are split, but academics points out Kendrick Lamar's GNX is endominating anymore. So this is Drake's shot to flood the hot one, hundred and reclaim that top spot. Academics is cool with a couple bar heavy joints, but he holds up Drake's 2018 Scorpion album as the real blueprint for success, warning, that skipping the hits could tank the whole project. With hip hop craving a big mainstream win right now, all eyes are an Isemen to deliver that staying power and get the game back to consistent bangers.
