Drake has continued to release music in the wake of his on-wax battle with Kendrick Lamar as a guest performer, leaning more into his melodic side. Drake will reportedly make a return to the rapping portion of his sound with a rumored project with producer Conductor Williams said to be released later this year.

The news of the upcoming Drake and Conductor Wiliams project was first heard during a broadcast of Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning. Main host Ebro Darden addressed the rumor of an album coming from the Canadian superstar with co-host Laura Stylez adding to the chatter.

“Drake is dropping a project at some point this year. That’s the rumor,” Darden said on Wednesday (July 31). Stylez added, “I heard that it’s coming sooner than we think.”

Fellow co-host Peter Rosenberg, who is as knowledgeable about the culture as anyone in his profession, chimed in with, “I also heard he has a whole project’s worth of music done with Conductor Williams which is very Hip-Hoppy.”

Conductor Williams is a name familiar to many in the underground and has produced bodies of work with fellow Kansas native Stik Figa. Williams has also connected with the sprawling Griselda Records camp and produced work for its mainstay acts, Conway The Machine and Westside Gunn, along with works with Boldy James, Mach-Hommy, and more.

Williams also produced the now-deleted J. Cole track “7 Minute Drill” which was aimed toward Kendrick Lamar before the North Carolina star backtracked the jab.

Williams produced two tracks on Drake’s For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition deluxe drop, “8am In Charlotte” and “Stories About My Brother.”

The news has not been confirmed by the OVO Sound camp as of yet.
