If you’re a true fan of Drake, then you’re familiar with Baka Not Nice: a fellow Toronto representative that’s been named-checked (and featured) on tracks like “Know Yourself” and — more recently — the Giggs-assisted “No Long Talk.” He even stood by Drizzy during his performance of “Gyalchester” at last month’s Billboard Music Awards.

Now, we get to witness Baka the artist — the latest episode of OVO Sound Radio on Beats 1 revealed his new track “Live Up To My Name,” which sees production from Alex Lustig and Bricks & Narcos. On the track, Baka gets busy with some of the grittiest, hardcore rhymes heard from the Canadian metropolis:

This the boy, are you insane?
I drink Henny when I shoot my pistol at the range
That way when I’m tipsy, I still know I got my aim
aka it’s Not Nice and it’s not a f***ing game
You and I, we’re not the same
Posted like Ibaka, got your wifey runnin’ brains
She was there with boi dem, keep my front door off the frame
She say I look like Usher when I’m trappin’ in the rain
Trap trap, trappin’ in the rain
She say I look like Usher when I’m trappin’ in the rain
Just know I’m a shooter first and rap is not my thing

Enjoy “Live Up To My Name” below, which is said to appear on the forthcoming project 4Milli.
