"When Drake puts pen to pad onna elkan ting you know it’s a speeeecial one": Elkan mentions in post discussing NOKIA

On February 24, 2025, Drake took to his burner Instagram account @plottttwistttttt to share a video of Elkan curating the beat to NOKIA in a studio in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The video is timestamped 'January 8, 2025.'

Sharing the same video, the music producer discussed the time the newly released track was created. Starting his caption by stating he didn't know where to begin, Elkan mentioned that the record meant a lot to him. Describing his condition at the time of creating a beat for NOKIA, the producer mentioned:

"...in the mist of a mental breakdown I channeled all the pain, trauma and joy into music not letting a f**ked up mental state stop me from expressing myself."

Additionally, the producer mentioned that the track came from people he loves, ones who rang to ask if he was doing okay and invited him to clubbing and karaoke. The track was also inspired by the producer going to "crazy food spots" and enjoying the little things in life.

Commenting on Drizzy's validation of his beat, Elkan concluded the post by mentioning:

"When Drake puts pen to pad onna elkan ting you know it’s a speeeecial one!"
