Drake has fans talking after a leaked track titled “1 AM In Albany” surfaced online and appeared to include lyrical shots aimed at several high-profile figures.
The unreleased song began circulating on social media late Tuesday alongside two additional leaked records reportedly connected to the rapper’s upcoming ICEMAN project. Fans quickly focused on “1 AM In Albany,” which includes references to Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, LeBron James, Joe Budden, and Dr. Dre.
In part of the track believed to target Budden, Drake references the former rapper and podcaster’s Budden’s controversial naked sleepwalking incident while also alluding to a past relationship with a woman connected to him.

“I watched this guy spasm with a puzzled face,” Drake raps. “Showed her the time of her life while broski having stomach aches.”
The track also flared online reactions over a line many listeners interpreted as a jab at Dr. Dre.
“If Drake took out the A.K., maybe he’d be in jail,” Drake says in the song.
The apparent diss-heavy record arrives just ahead of the expected release of ICEMAN, which Drake has been teasing in recent weeks through online clips and episodic promotional videos.
Budden recently predicted he would receive a few sublimals for Drizzy’s upcoming project.
“Yeah, I want to hear the Cole diss on Drake’s album,” Budden said on his podcast two weeks ago. “Yes, I think he getting dissed… you can hide in the China league all you want them n—as love Drake too.”
