Could Drake Be Dropping An Album This Summer After Snippet Leaks On TikTok?

It can be argued that Drake is the biggest artist in the world right now, and it is always a big deal when he drops an album, singles, or is featured on someone else’s single. It doesn’t matter which of the three his fans will want to listen to whatever it is. Even his haters will still give it a listen so that they can criticize his music.
There seems to be a rumor circulating that Drake is looking to release a new album in the middle of summer this year. Drake’s songs still ring at their best during the summer months, so it should come as no surprise that rumors are targeting this timeline.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, a leaked snippet floating around TikTok shows Drizzy in Summer mode.
While not all leaks mean that an album is on the way because we don’t know how long Drake has been sitting on the single, and you hear artists all the time, just because they record something doesn’t mean it will end up on a project. Drake had had a single leak right before Certified Lover Boy dropped, claiming that it was the actual project, and when it was time to release, none of those singles were even on the project.
So we will have to wait and see what Drizzy has up his sleeve this summer and for the rest of 2022 heading into 2023.
