About This Track
Released in April 2024, 'Push Ups' is Drake's direct response to Kendrick Lamar's verse on 'Like That', a track that called Drake's best work a 'light pack' and invoked the Michael Jackson–Prince rivalry. The title references a viral 2023 video of Lamar doing prison push-ups, whilst simultaneously addressing what Drake frames as industry subordinates attempting to rise to his level.
The lyrics target multiple figures across the hip-hop landscape, with Drake positioning himself as 'the hitmaker y'all depend on' and dismissing claims to his commercial throne. He questions chart performance, label splits, and the legitimacy of rivals' claims to represent Toronto, asserting his dominance both in the city and internationally. The track's confrontational tone extends to producers and collaborators, with Drake demanding they 'make some drums' rather than involve themselves in the dispute.
The song circulated as a leak before its official streaming release, adding to the momentum of a feud that had been building through indirect references and industry tension. Drake's delivery is blunt and methodical, each verse dismantling perceived weaknesses in his opponents' careers and public personas.
"Push Ups" is a single by Drake, released 13th April 2024. The track is 3:53 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Drake.

Drake's lawyers argue that many listeners believed Kendrick Lamar's lyrics to be genuine accusations of pedophilia in ongoing legal battle.

The label defends the 'Not Like Us' release, stating rap battles and diss tracks are protected forms of artistic expression.

Drake will perform three unique headline sets at Wireless Festival 2025, marking his first UK shows in six years.
