"Why did they have me preview that?" - Adin Ross gives a sneak peek of Drake and Lil Durk's unreleased song

Kick streamer and co-owner Adin Ross is no stranger to brushing shoulders with rappers and music artists. His latest stream (September 5, 2024) saw him preview an upcoming and unreleased song featuring rap stars Drake and Lil Durk. Adin is especially close with Drake since both of them are signed with Stake.com (the online casino website that owns Kick).

Adin didn't, of course, share the entire piece, which is reportedly titled Discontinuing Wokhardt. The section of the song that he shared mostly had vocals from Lil Durk, although Drake can be heard singing a couple of lines towards the end.

One of the lines (sung by Drake) included him talking about a possible addiction:

"Discontinuing Wockhardt, what seal do I pop now? What seal do I pop now? What seal do I pop now? You know that the Act' gone, I can't get no Wok now. What seal do I pop now? What seal do I pop now?"

Considering that Adin Ross has a track record of substance addiction (the streamer has previously spoken about his addiction to lean aka purple drank), the Kick streamer comically responded by stating:

"Wait, I just realized. Why did they have me preview that?"

"Hip-hop has fallen" - Fans share mixed reactions after Adin Ross previews new Drake and Lil Durk song

As one of the biggest names in the music industry, Drake's latest song preview, shared by Kick streamer Adin Ross, naturally attracted significant attention. However, reactions have been mixed, with some fans claiming that "hip-hop has fallen" as rappers now rely on streamers to debut their tracks.

One X user wrote:

"You know the music industry, especially in hip-hop, has fallen and is all about the money when you’re hearing a new song for the first time on a streamer's platform that’s not music-based."

Another user shared a similar sentiment about streamers and rappers collaborating:

"It's really lame how he (Drake) “leaks” songs to these streamers to see the general reaction to know if it's safe to release or not."

This isn't the first time Drake has reached out to a streamer to showcase his work. During his diss war with Kendrick Lamar, he texted Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, urging him to stay live on his broadcast as he was about to release his diss track against Lamar.
