The internet’s buzzing again, and this time it’s all about Drake and a leaked track that’s got fans debating. A supposed reference track from artist Beam has surfaced, and it’s stirring up conversations about ghostwriting, unreleased music, and the ongoing lyrical battle in hip-hop.
What’s This Leak All About?
The track in question is reportedly a reference version for an unreleased Drake and Central Cee collaboration, possibly titled “Triumph Tower” or “Trump Tower.” Reference tracks are typically made by songwriters to give the main artist a feel for the melody and flow, often with placeholder lyrics. This leaked version, attributed to Beam, features the chorus and melody of the leaked collab but with different verse lyrics.
The timeline and authenticity of this leak are still a bit murky, making it tough to draw firm conclusions. However, the involvement of Beam is particularly interesting, given his past work with Drake and his recent mention in Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, “euphoria.”
Kendrick Lamar’s Shadow Looms Large
Kendrick Lamar’s fiery diss track “euphoria” specifically called out Beam, rapping, “Yeah, bring them out too, I’ll clean them out too, tell Beam that he better stay right with you.” This direct mention has fueled speculation that Beam may have been involved in writing for Drake, adding another layer to the current hip-hop feud.
Adding to the intrigue, the leaked Beam track shares similarities with another song, “3STAR,” released earlier this year by wolfacejoeyy, which Beam reportedly also contributed to as a writer. This further complicates the narrative and raises questions about the creative process behind these tracks.
Navigating the Hype
It’s important to approach these leaks with a healthy dose of skepticism. Without official confirmation from Drake or his team, it’s hard to say definitively if this is a genuine reference track, how it fits into the release timeline, or if Beam would have received any official writing credits. The lines between ghostwriting, additional writing, and fan speculation can often blur in the hip-hop world.
Regardless of the specifics, this alleged leak has certainly reignited the debate surrounding Drake’s songwriting process. With Drake’s new album “ICEMAN” reportedly on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next, and whether his own pen will be on full display.
