Drake Drama Unveiled, DJ Backtracks on Kendrick Lamar Ban in Texas Clubs

Drake

Drake’s reach in the music world is undeniable, with a particularly strong influence in Texas thanks to his ties with J Prince. So when rumors emerged that Drake and J Prince had banned Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” from Texas clubs, it didn’t seem too far-fetched. The 6 God has a reputation for being petty behind the scenes, and J Prince has been linked to significant beefs, including the Pusha T feud in 2018. However, it turns out this latest rumor was a misunderstanding.

Ari the DJ, who initially sparked the Texas ban rumor, claimed on Twitter that she faced trouble multiple times for playing “Not Like Us.” This claim quickly spread, causing a stir. But Ari took to Instagram to clarify the situation. She posted a screenshot of her original tweet alongside a headline about the alleged ban, explaining that things were misconstrued. “Headlines can be misleading,” she wrote on her IG Story. “Drake nor J Prince never told me to not play the song.” Ari clarified that the orders came from individuals who respected Drake, not Drake or J Prince directly.

“Promoters and people that respect those guys told me not to and it was understood,” she explained. “That’s it, that’s all.” This isn’t the first time Drake has been accused of complicating matters for Kendrick Lamar and his TDE crew. ScHoolboy Q recently suggested Drake’s influence might have led to the cancelation of his concert in Toronto due to ongoing tensions.

While there’s no concrete evidence linking Drake to the concert cancellation, the venue did have connections to the 6 God and Live Nation. Drake has remained silent publicly about the Kendrick Lamar beef, but speculation about new music continues to swirl, fueled by Drake himself. On July 22, he posted a photo wearing a Tupac shirt that read, “Only God Can Judge Me,” suggesting the rivalry might still be alive.

Doble Pista explores the memories that stay with us on new single “Memoria en la Piel”

Doble Pista

“Memoria en la Piel” is Doble Pista’s exploration of the emotional connection memories have, lingering long after the moments that created them have passed. The single’s identity comes from the idea that some people, experiences, and feelings leave a mark that time doesn’t easily erase.

“Memoria en la Piel” combines emotional depth with forward-moving energy through rhythmic synth patterns, atmospheric soundscapes, and soaring vocal melodies. The production creates a well-constructed electronic bed that keeps the track’s theme front and center. Synth rhythms propel the track, and atmospheric textures provide space for the song’s more introspective moments to emerge.

That balance is crucial for the human voice performances of Sebastian and Agus. Their lead vocals give the production a warmth and organic character that makes the electronic arrangements feel intimate. The vocal melodies drive home the emotional message and the memories and relationships that become permanent fixtures in our own stories.

Doble Pista is the unique work of Carlos Cuerdo Cobos, the project’s writer, composer, producer, and arranger. Carlos also shapes the project’s visual identity, including art direction, music videos, and overall aesthetics, and he is from Pineda de Mar, Barcelona, Spain. Doble Pista has a defined artistic direction because of his background in these creative fields. “Memoria en la Piel” combines human expression with precise electronic production without losing its emotional core. What’s most interesting is how it handles memory as something that lives on in us.
