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.

Stay tuned for more updates on Drake and Kendrick Lamar on Honk Magazine.

Lana Crow

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
