Kai Cenat has managed to get his hands on an unreleased track by Drake and Lil Yachty.
The track, reportedly titled “SuperSoak,” samples “Goodness Gracious” by Mr. Hotspot. There’s no word yet on whether Drake or Lil Yachty will officially release it.
“Watching the moves and playin’ it close / S.O.D., super soaked / Rainy days isn’t hers, matchin’ coat / We f**k on the jet, it feel like a boat, stayin’ afloat,” raps Drake. This is the latest we’ve heard from him since the announcement of his appearance on Honestly, Nevermind producer Gordo’s forthcoming album, DIAMANTE, set to drop this Friday, July 26.
