6:16 in LA: This week, Kendrick Lamar returns with “6:16 in LA,” his second Drake diss track.

Kendrick Lamar has taken another stab at Drake, with a second diss track arriving just three days after his first, “Euphoria.” The new song, “6:16 in LA,” parodies the titles of Drake’s popular, introspective “timestamp songs,” like 2013’s “4 PM in Calabasas” and 2023’s “8 AM in Charlotte.” In the new track, which Lamar released via Instagram on Friday at 9 a.m.

ET, the rapper takes aim at Drake’s OVO crew (“Did you ever think OVO was working for me? / Fake punks, I hate punks, you must be a horrible person / Everyone on your team is whispering you deserve it”) and name-drops one of his viral hits (“Can’t take ‘Toosie Slide’ out of this / It’s just gonna come out again”). The theme of those in Drake’s crew is a constant throughout the song, as Lamar later raps, “If you was street smart, you’d know your associates just out to swindle you / One hunnid n—-s that got you on the payroll, and 20 of them want you as a casualty.

Kendrick Lamar two diss tracks

At the time, Drake had released two diss tracks – “Charged Up” and “Back to Back” – within four days of each other. Lamar’s “Euphoria” reflects that controversy and looking back, teasing this new song, he rapped, “‘Back to Back’, I love that record / I’ll be back on that, for the record.

” The feud between Lamar and Drake began when Lamar criticized Drake and J. Cole in a verse of Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That” in March. Cole responded with a diss track, “7 Minute Drill”, which he pulled from streaming services shortly after its release.

Drake also released two diss tracks: “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle”, the latter of which was removed from streaming services because it contained an AI performance of 2Pac, prompting threats of a lawsuit from his estate.
