In what may be the most surprising collaboration in hip-hop history, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have announced a joint album that will effectively end their years-long lyrical rivalry. The announcement came simultaneously from both artists' social media accounts at midnight, featuring a single teaser image of the two standing side by side in a recording studio.
The project, titled 'Common Ground,' is reportedly a 14-track album produced by a who's who of hip-hop producers including Metro Boomin, DJ Premier, and Pharrell Williams. A lead single is expected to drop within the next two weeks.
Music industry veterans have called the collaboration unprecedented, comparing it to historic moments of musical reconciliation while noting that the commercial potential is virtually limitless given both artists' enormous and passionate fanbases.
