The buzz began when co-host Laura Stylez mentioned, “I heard that it’s coming sooner than we think,” sparking excitement among listeners. Fellow host Peter Rosenberg added fuel to the fire by revealing that the project would be a full album of tracks produced by Conductor Williams, marking a shift towards a more traditional hip-hop sound for Drake. This collaboration follows their previous work on tracks like “8AM in Charlotte” and “Stories About My Brother” from the For All the Dogs: Scary Hours project, where Williams’ production played a significant role.
