Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Adonis’ “My Man Freestyle” earned 155K streams in its first day on Spotify.
Popular music chart, Chart Data, confirmed. Dad Drake — who currently has the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — also makes an appearance toward the end of the clip.
Adonis recently co-starred in Drake’s “8AM in Charlotte” music video, which begins with a cute father-son conversation about Adonis’ artwork. When Drake asks his child how much he earned for his beautiful drawing, he laughs and says, “Oh please.” The visual for the For All the Dogs track was released in early October.
In a new video posted to social media ahead of his For All the Dogs release on October 6, Drake asks his son, Adonis, to explain the drawing of a goat that became the upcoming album’s art. “And daddy’s name is next to the goat. Does that mean that daddy’s the GOAT?” Drake asks a leading question. “Yes. So it’s Daddy Goat,” Adonis replies. It’s a better nickname than champagnepapi. “Daddy Goat, that makes perfect sense to me,” says Drake, who’s definitely just happy to be called the GOAT. But when Drake asks his son how much he got paid for the drawing, Adonis is over it: “Oh, please.”
Drake hasn’t been hiding his child for a while — and now, they’re even working together. Adonis Graham, already equipped with a killer professional name, drops a couple bars on his old man’s new track “Daylight,” off of For All the Dogs. “Don’t talk to my man like that / I like it when you like it / My-my-my-my man” he comes through at the end with an original flow over an old-school beat. What, you want us to lie and say it doesn’t go hard? Let’s get him and Blue Ivy Carter in the studio; see if we can make a “No Angel Pt. 2.” Adonis isn’t just talent, either. He’s credited as composer/lyricist “Adonis G.” Between his paintbrush (got it from his mama) and his pen, Adonis is officially a double threat, prepared to usurp the title of GOAT from his false-king father.
On the track, Adonis describes a day leading up to a game: “I was waiting for this moment to arrive/ I was driving in the car and I smash my car/ I was playing in on my iPad and I broke my iPad/ I’m going to my house, seeing my dad/ I am saying hi to my dad and I have to go change/ I’m playing basketball.”
