After teasing the collaboration on socials yesterday (19 July), Headie One has released his new "Only You Freestyle", which is produced by M1 On The Beat and opens with a verse from Drake.
Drake gives a shout out to "sweet one" Maya Jama, and adopts a drill flow similar to his "War" track from last year.
"Only You Freestyle" is Headie One's first release since May's "Rose Gold" single, and marks Drake's first collaboration since featuring on DJ Khaled's "Greece" and "Popstar" tracks last Friday (17 July).
According to a press release, the collaboration happened after Drake reached out to Headie One on Instagram asking for them to link up on a song. Drake sent the beat to Headie One, and the British drill rapper recorded his verse before sending it back.
Drake says of working with Headie One, "I had to go hard, especially on a track with one of the best drill artists in the world...Scratch that - the best drill artist in the world."
