meet the grahams

"Meet the Grahams," dropped by Kendrick Lamar on May 3, 2024, is a nuclear bomb directed at Drake. He released the track less than 30 minutes after Drake's "Family Matters" landed, so Lamar clearly knew Drizzy was coming for his fam.

Instead of a straight-up diss track, "Meet The Grahams" is formatted as a series of scathing letters to Drake and members of his family: the Grahams. Here are some of the grenades Lamar lobs: Drizzy is addicted to prescription pills. Drake is a sexual predator comparable to disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Lamar alleges Drake has sex offenders on his OVO Sound payroll. But the real jaw-dropper is Lamar's claim that Drake has an 11-year-old daughter he's kept hidden. This would be Drake's second secret kid, after Pusha T exposed Adonis in "The Story of Adidon."

The Alchemist ("FEAR.," "We Cry Together") laces "Meet the Grahams" with a haunting piano beat way creepier than Lamar's usual sound.
