Drake takes full advantage of L.A. superproducer Mustard’s past issues with Bay Area Hip-Hop while dissing him over the Mac Dre sampled “2 Hard 4 The Radio” from his new album, ICEMAN. Mustard produced the award-winning diss song, “Not Like Us,” by Kendrick Lamar towards Drake in 2024. Mustard and Drake had been throwing jabs at each other ever since.
Built on a flip of Too Hard for the Fuckin’ Radio by the late Bay Area icon Mac Dre, the track is produced by P-Lo, Karri, OZ and Ben10k. The West Coast-inspired backdrop gives Drake room to address Mustard, whom Drizzy also followed on social media, as well as the producer’s ex-wife.
“Mustard heard about us, gotta catch up to the slaps,” Drake raps, suggesting that he still believes his music sets the standard.
He follows with a more pointed line: “You ain’t had one since me and YG rapped.”
That lyric references Who Do You Love?, the 2014 hit that helped cement Mustard’s run as one of rap’s top producers.

“Facts, nine-hundred million for the tracks,” Drake adds, highlighting the massive success they achieved together.
He then nods to Mustard’s breakout era with, “Rack City, b*tch, we remember that,” referencing Rack City.
Drake closes with a stinging critique: “Yeah, you should try and get back to that. This new sh*t, you could’ve kept it on the Laugh Factory.”
The message is clear. Drake believes Mustard’s finest work belongs to the past and that his recent output falls short of the hits that once defined his career.
