YouTube / Drake Drake is showing love to Bay Area rap, as well as a late friend. The 39-year-old rapper pays tribute to hyphy culture on his ICEMAN song, “2 Hard 4 the Radio,” released on Friday (May 15). Hyphy culture is a high-energy hip-hop movement that came out of Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area in the late ’90s and early ’00s. “Woah, woah, livin’ large, yeah / And I put that on citas and the boul?vard / When I lost big Nadia, I took it hard / Need to call up a Stark for some Chrome H?arts / If you my new girl, girl, you gotta look the part / Ayy, it’s Mr. Make Her Pipe Down, there he go / Yeah, it’s Mr. Popstar, that’s the way it go / Now I’m too hard for the f–kin’ radio / Too hard for the f–kin’ radio Yeah, too hard for the f–kin’ radio,” he declares. The Nadia reference presumably is a nod to longtime friend Nadia Ntuli , who died in an ATV accident in 2021, and to whom he dedicated Certified Lover Boy . He also references Mac Dre ‘s Bay Area classic “2 Hard 4 the F–kin’ Radio” on the song. “Got an Oakland show tonight, baby / My young boys from the Yoc goin’ crazy / I’m on the bridge with a tank of unleaded / I pull up early to that bitch, that bitch was yankin’ already,” he goes on. “The Yoc” is slang for a city east of Oakland in Contra Costa County, called Antioch, Calif. He also delivers a shot at producer Mustard directly, who produced Kendrick Lamar ‘s “Not Like Us”: “ Mustard heard about us, gotta catch up to the slaps / You ain’t had one since me and YG rapped / Facts, nine hundred million for the tracks / ‘Rack City,’ bitch, we remember that / Damn, you should try and get back to that / This new s–t, you could’ve kept it on the Laugh Fact,” he says, referring to his 2014 song with YG , “Who Do You Love?” and implying Mustard hasn’t had a hit since. (Mustard also produced Tyga ‘s “Rack City” in 2011.)
