Drake’s “What’s Next” Producer Says He Never Thought It Would Be Released! The past weekend was quite an eventful one for many amid the NBA All-Star event. On that note, just before the festivities took place, Drake saw to it that some new music was out to the world. The “Laugh Now Cry Later” rapper landed with the sequel to Scary Hours. The first one came as a quick two-pack to keep fans entertained until the release of Scorpion while Scary Hours 2 is meant to cool down the fans’ anxiety until Drake decides to unleash Certified Lover Boy which is rumored to most probably drop in April.
“What’s Next” seems to be the biggest single from Scary Hours with the song expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The hard-hitting banger falls in the category of a hit that would be produced by the likes of Pi’erre Bourne but surprisingly, it was Supah Mario who cheffed it with Playboi Carti in mind. “It was like a Carti style beat and I knew Drake was working on shit with Carti,” the producer revealed during a recent interview with RapCaviar. “I sent it to him and luckily, he hit me back and was like, ‘Yo I wanna fuck with this.'”
Mario went further to explained that it was nowhere within his thinking that the beat would end up being released and ultimately, end up in the stash somewhere. “He hit me back a few days later and was like, ‘Yo, send me the stems for this. I’m actually keeping this for my project.'” Mario revealed further that the both of them are ever working on something and that he’s constantly sending beats to Drake on a weekly basis.
