Following Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Grahams,&#8221; Drake exclusively gave DJ Akademiks a heads-up that he&#8217;d respond with &#8220;Family Matters.&#8221;
DJ Akademiks has been tapped in throughout Drake&#8217;s ongoing diss track battle with Kendrick Lamar.
The hip-hop media personality was the latest guest on the Andrew Schulz&#8217;s Flagrant with Akaash Singh podcast, where he enlightened those on the show about Drizzy keeping him updated throughout the battle. Around the 46-minute mark of the video above, Ak explained that before the 6 God dropped &#8220;Family Matters,&#8221; he gave him a 30-minute notice, partly because Ak wanted to make sure he was &#8220;at the right spot.&#8221;
&#8220;I asked Drake, I said, &#8216;Drake, yo–because this is after Kendrick had dropped–I said, &#8216;Bro, you just need to give me the heads up of what&#8217;s gonna be what so I&#8217;m at the right spot. And right now, I&#8217;m not in the right spot,'&#8221; Ak said.

He continued, &#8220;[Drake] says, &#8216;Yo, you got 30 minutes to get on stream.'&#8221;
This put Ak in a tight spot, as he was watching 50 Cent in concert at the time, but he didn&#8217;t hesitate to rush himself and his security personnel home. &#8220;I said &#8216;Beeline for the door, get the driver outside. We&#8217;re going back to Jersey. We might have to run tolls, we might have to drive the wrong way,'&#8221; he said.
Ak made it back home 10 minutes ahead of the drop to hear &#8220;Family Matters&#8221; along with his Twitch audience, opting not to hear the song ahead of time to provide a real-time reaction to his viewers. But what he didn&#8217;t expect was to be featured on &#8220;Family Matters.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;m playing it, everyone in my chat they&#8217;re spamming, &#8216;You&#8217;re on the song!'&#8221; Ak recalled. &#8220;I get to about the end of the song, I hear the voice note from me, which is from my stream, and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Holy shit.'&#8221;
