Spoiler: It sounds fire.

A lot has been made of The Game's associations with Drake, and whether that means the West Coast artist has a grudge against Kendrick Lamar. It's a story that we covered extensively on a recent episode of HNHH Live before the artist ended up pledging allegiance to Los Angeles.

On Thursday, however, DJ Akademiks took to his live stream with something special for the fans. He had teased the stream on his X account, and his viewers had no idea what was coming. They probably never would have guessed that Ak was going live to preview a new song from The Game that just so happens to feature Drake.

This new song does not have a name. According to Akademiks, it is a song that will be featured on The Game's upcoming album, The Documentary 3. As you will hear, the song features some bouncy West Coast production, as well as some catchy flows from both artists.

The Game x Drake Coming Soon...Allegedly

"Me, Drake and Drake we the three amigos," The Game raps on the track. Elsewhere in the song, he raps, "N****s circle got smaller than a peephole" and "If I have to pick a side, then I'm picking homicide."

At this time, it appears as though Drake's part on the song is simply the hook. Regardless, Drake is sounding catchy as ever here, and it's interesting to see the artist team up with The Game given everything that has been said as of late.

Fans are immediately going to take this as some sort of shot at Kendrick Lamar. Whether or not K-Dot feels the same way remains to be seen.

The Documentary 3 does not currently have a release date. The same thing can be said about this single.
