All of these projects were licensed under Republic which is under UMG. They have their hands in almost every pot.

this not coming for a long while lets not get our hopes up

The first hearing is January 16th.
And we don't know that it wouldn't be resolved any time soon. If they settle it could be. We don't know exactly what led Drake to do this in the first place or what he's seeking from it as endgame. If those asks are met behind the scenes, this is over quick.

Universal is not allowing an official Drake release during this situation. It's not happening. Akademiks just said this on his last stream even though his voice means nothing regarding this. There is no "workaround" either. We just saw Universal strike down every 100 gigs audio and the Conductor freestyle.

That isn't true for a variety of reasons, with the main one being that they literally have to sign off on anything that is released by an artist signed to them. That's how major labels work. They may not have control over "when" something is released by a major act like Drake, but they surely do have control over "if" something is. There's a huge difference. We literally just saw Drake try to free drop the 100 gigs tracks to avoid the chart flops that were to follow because he doesn't have Universal's support anymore. They flagged the tracks everywhere then they proceeded to force him to put the tracks on streaming anyway. He had no control over that.

Plus, even if he could, Drake isn't releasing a random "collab" project he can't have count towards his current Universal deal. It makes zero business sense. Drake is a Universal artist and his solo work has nothing to do with his separate OVO/Sony deal.

How many projects does he have left on this deal

Ak said he owe them 1 more

I’ve been hearing “1 more” since CLB

this week. no exceptions.

Didnt he extend when he got that 600m

Idk I don’t keep up w celebs like that, just the content

Idk either but seems thats usually the case

Apparently just one. That's more reason why the guy's theory about Drake trying to skirt around his deal like Universal is stupid makes no sense.

Lmao what’s it gotta do with Universal being stupid? When it comes to contracts some things you gotta trust me on. Drake is not putting anything out solely via Universal because of that relationship. Universal is also not blocking him dropping something. They get their split. Drake dropping as featured guest on PNDs album separate entity. Universal still gets paid their split but has no hand in the marketing aspect of it. Drake will not release a single thing via universal. He’s at a crossroads where if he drops with them and flops (bc they have the upper hand) he will look crazy post beef. If universal was blocking s*** they woulda striked 100gigs and not made him upload to streaming. They want their cut regardless how they get it. This joint album will be under OVO drake as a featured guest each record

Oh and if I’m wrong I’ll gladly take the L . Let’s see how this unfolds

$$$ = 1/31

Watching clb doc clips from 100 gigs and this could’ve genuinely been his best album if a couple things went in a couple different directions

Was that always the plan or does that coincide with the weeknd or will it get pushed back

Or if half the album didn’t leak.

Feb 7th looking more more likely

👀

For someone who’s criticized for “same ol tired flow” a decent amount. Homie sure is versatile

Nah clb was the 1st album on the deal I’m not sure if it was 4 or 5 album deal but he definitely only got one more left
