Get ready for a powerhouse collaboration between rap giants Future, Drake, and Young Thug. The trio has come together to pay tribute to Atlanta-based rap collective D4L with their new song, aptly titled D4L. The song is a remix of Dreezy’s and 2 Chainz's January 2018 track "2nd to None," produced by Southside, and features the three rappers representing their individual labels- Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO), Future’s FreeBandz Gang (FBG), and Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life Records (YSL).

About D4L

D4L stands for Down for Life and is the name of an Atlanta rap collective that was active during the early 2000s. The group was composed of four members, including Fabo, Mook-B, Stoney, and Shawty Lo. D4L originally gained widespread recognition with their hit single "Laffy Taffy," which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The song would go on to become a cultural phenomenon, with its catchy hook and unique dance moves gracing television and radio airwaves across the world.

Drake, Future, and Young Thug's D4L takes inspiration from the rap collective's iconic single "I'm Da Man," released in November 2005. The song was a massive hit and cemented D4L's place in the Atlanta rap scene, garnering significant attention for their distinctive sound and memorable lyrics.

The remix takes a fresh spin on the original track, featuring the trio bragging about their high-class lifestyles and wealth while paying homage to D4L's legacy. The rappers interpolate Drake's iconic "What's Hannenin’?" line from his 2010 single "Miss Me," featuring Lil Wayne. This line, in turn, was borrowed from D4L's "I'm Da Man," adding a nostalgic feel to the track and paying tribute to the Atlanta rap collective's influence on today's generation of musicians.
