Drake Promises a Return to Roots, DJ Akademiks Reveals, Fans React with Skepticism and Hope

Drake

Drake is reportedly gearing up to drop music that aligns with what his fans have been craving, according to DJ Akademiks. During a recent stream, Akademiks divulged insights into the Toronto rapper’s plans for his upcoming releases.

“You can say this is a confirmed thing,” Akademiks stated. “This is him to me. He says, ‘Yo Ak, I’m back to giving everybody who loves me what they love from me.’ That’s a direct quote. Y’all got it. That’s as much as I can say that he said.”

When the clip surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), reactions were a mix of excitement and doubt. “Bro been telling his fans he’s gonna go to his old sound for the last 3 albums I don’t believe it,” one user commented. Another fan expressed hope, saying, “I hope so, I personally want a Drake/Wayne collab album tbh that’s something like NWTS imo.”

This isn’t the first time Akademiks has hinted at new music from Drake recently. He previously suggested that the “Family Matters” rapper is planning to subtly diss Kendrick Lamar soon. “It’s really never over. I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss,” he mentioned. “Matter of fact, I won’t even tell y’all what I heard but the first sneak diss Drake got that’s dissing Kendrick, how he positions it, that’s going to be interesting.” Drake has been embroiled in a feud with Lamar for several months.

The reference to being all about “chips, Dorito’s” adds a light-hearted twist before the instantly recognizable chorus takes over. The repeated chant of “I’m looking viscous” becomes the heartbeat of the record, giving listeners a hook that lingers long after the track ends. Meanwhile, the lyrics acknowledging those who hate while others continue grooving reinforce the song’s uplifting confidence. The line encouraging the front row to sit back and watch the movie further paints the picture of an artist focused on the bigger vision instead of unnecessary criticism, while Mistah F.A.B’s appearance complements the record’s energetic spirit.

“Vicous” is a celebration of ambition wrapped inside an engaging hip-hop performance.
