Drake Climbs Back to the Top 10 Amid Kendrick Lamar’s Billboard Domination

HonkMagazine

The ongoing rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar creates buzz in the music world. Just when fans thought Drake was out of the spotlight, he surprised everyone by making a comeback on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This week’s list, dated March 15, shows that while Kendrick Lamar is still at the top with his hit “luther” featuring SZA, Drake is back in the mix. His song “NOKIA” from the collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U has made it into the Top 10, landing at No. 10.

This is a significant moment. Just last week, Drake wasn’t on the Hot 100 at all, leading many to think his recent album had lost steam. But as history suggests, doubting Drake isn’t usually wise. “NOKIA” still has a lot of potential, and with summer around the corner, it could become one of the season’s biggest hits. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is enjoying his own success. His song “luther” is firmly at No. 1, while his other tracks, “Not Like Us” and “tv off,” are holding strong at No. 3 and No. 4.

This raises the question: does Kendrick have more surprises planned for 2025, or will his current hits keep him going for the year? For Drake, finding success is nothing new. He has built a career on staying power and the ability to bounce back, and his return to the Top 10 shows he’s still in the game. Whether he’s starting a new wave of success or just making a brief comeback while Kendrick remains dominant is yet to be determined. But one thing is for sure, the rivalry and the excitement around it are far from over.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
