Just before the weekend hit, Drake surprise-released three songs including “Circadian Rhythm,” “SOD” and “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti via his Instagram burner account @plottttwistttttt.
Fans may recognize “SOD” as “Supersoak,” a track that streamer Kai Cenat premiered last month and initially featured a verse from Lil Yachty. Even before its official release, it caused issues after Yachty tried to clear a sample from Mr. HotSpot that was included on the track, but was denied usage unless the rappers did a clean version of the song per his religious beliefs. Now, Yachty has been entirely removed from the track for its official release. Some fans suspected there may have been issues between the two brewing over the past few weeks after they noted that Yachty unfollowed Drake on Instagram.

Beyond “SOD,” anyone who’s been locked into the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar may find a connection between “Circadian Rhythm” and Lamar’s diss track “6:16 in LA.” Some are already suggesting that Drake was inspired to name his most recent song after a line from “6:16 in LA” where Lamar raps, “Often, I know this type of power is gon’ cost / But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star.”

On “No Face,” Drake broadens the scope against anyone who has talked against him, rapping, “I’m just so happy that n—s who envied and held that shit in got to finally show it / I’m over the moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon.”
The three tracks arrive a few weeks after the rapper dropped a massive folder on 100gigs.org of unreleased music, behind-the-scenes footage, tour set designs and clips from the studio. Among the files were another trio of songs — “It’s Up” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red” and “Housekeeping Knows” featuring Latto — that he also debuted on his IG burner before officially releasing them to DSPs a few days later.
