Kendrick Lamar Slides on Drake on Second Diss Record ‘6:16 in LA’
Kendrick Lamar is going back-to-back on Drake by releasing another diss track titled "6:16 in LA."
Kendrick Lamar Slides on Drake Again
On Friday morning (May 3), Kendrick Lamar dropped his second Drake diss in less than a week via Instagram. The track, which can be heard below, finds K-Dot doubling back on Drizzy over a sample of Al Green's "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is."
"Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let's see/Have you ever thought that OVO was workin' for me?" Kendrick raps on the track below. "Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/Everyone in your team is whispering that you deserve it/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 also brings Drake's friend Zack Bia, DJ and Field Trip Recordings cofounder, into the fray. "You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya/You're playin' dirty with Zack Bia and Twitter bots/But your reality can't hide behind Wi-Fi/Your lil' memes is losing steam, they figured you out/The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route."
The new shot is produced by Sounwave and Jack Antonoff, a frequent collaborating producer for Taylor Swift. This seems like a calculated move since Drizzy keeps antagonizing Kendrick for previously working with Swift and keeping track of her release schedule. Drake even titled one of his diss tracks aimed at K-Dot "Taylor Made Freestyle."

Hip-Hop Titans Battle It Out
Now that Kendrick Lamar has officially evened the score, things are starting to get very intense between two of hip-hop's biggest titans.

With Drake and Kendrick both already releasing two diss songs a piece, this beef is already as intense as Esco and Hov's, and in a shorter period of time. The Drake and Kendrick beef doesn't seem like it's going be over any time soon. When will it end? How far will it go? Only time will tell.
