'Ran to Atlanta': Drake Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar with Future and Molly Santana in New Album

Drake’s new track with Future and Molly Santana makes his clearest lyrical acknowledgment of the 2024 rivalry with Kendrick Lamar.

  • On Friday, Drake released his ninth studio album, ICEMAN, featuring the track 'Ran to Atlanta' with Future and Molly Santana, directly acknowledging his 2024 rivalry with Kendrick Lamar.
  • The conflict escalated throughout 2024 when Kendrick Lamar appeared on 'Like That' by Future and Metro Boomin, a collaboration widely viewed as a turning point in the dispute.
  • Drake raps, 'Atlanta'll tell you 'bout my run, you know what I'm sayin'? Ask Pluto, Bank, or 21,' which fans compared to Kendrick Lamar's lyric, 'You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance.'
  • Reports emerged that several unreleased songs leaked less than 24 hours before the official release; alongside ICEMAN, Drake also dropped two additional projects, 'Maid of Honour' and 'Habibti.'
  • The album serves as a vehicle for the Toronto native to address personal and professional challenges, as Drizzy sounds inspired on ICEMAN while touching on his lawsuit against UMG and his father's cancer battle.
