Kendrick Lamar goes back-to-back and unexpectedly releases his second Drake diss record.
On Friday morning (May 3), the Compton rapper posted the record on his Instagram handle, just days after releasing his Drake diss record, “Euphoria“. Titled “6:16 In LA”, which plays off the title of Drake’s timestamped song series, finds a war-ready Kung Fu Kenny targeting Drizzy and hinting disloyalty within his OVO camp.
“Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? / Let’s see / Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me? / Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person / Everyone in your team is whispering that you deserve it,” he raps. “Can’t “Toosie Slide” out of this one, it’s just gon’ resurface / Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose / It was fun ’til you start to put money up in the streets / Then lost money, ’cause they came back with the no receipts.”
K.Dot continues, “I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace / But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed / The Elohim, KTW, no you can’t sleep / These images trouble you, know the wires in your circle should puzzle you / If you were street smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you / A hunnid niggas that you got on salary, and twenty of ’em want you as a casualty / And one of them is actually, next to you / And two of them is practically tied to your lifestyle, just don’t got the audacity to tell you.”
Parts of the record samples Al Green’s 1972 song, “What A Wonderful Thing Love Is”.
“6:16 In LA” clocked in just three days following Kendrick Lamar’s previous Drake diss record, “Euphoria“. Both are in response to Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” and “Push Ups”, the Toronto rapper’s counter from Kendrick’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That”.
