Recently, Drake collaborated with Sexyy Red on the song “U My Everything,” which featured a sample of Metro Boomin’s remix of “BBL Drizzy.” The track reached No. 44 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Their previous song together, “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA, peaked at No. 11 on the same chart.
On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 and is currently holding strong at No. 3 on the Hot 100 chart for the week of July 6. The music video for this West Coast anthem was released on July 4, possibly setting Lamar up to surpass Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, who are currently at the top of the charts with “I Had Some Help.”
Akademiks also shared his thoughts on the highly-anticipated music video, praising Lamar’s work by stating, “Watchin this Not Like Us video. He did give everybody a look. Pretty good video ngl.”
