More Details On Drake & Snowd4y’s Collab

As mentioned, ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ is a new release that arrived on Monday (June 3). The song lasts nearly four minutes, and Snowd4y has been promoting it all over his Instagram page. Drake also showed the tune some love on IG, posting the song on a streaming platform to his Story with the caption, “@Snowd4y wake up the city [laughing and exhale emojis].”

Both artists seemed to sample heavily exaggerated Caribbean accents on the song, even using Jamaican lingo like “gwan” mixed with Toronto lingo like “cheesed.”

In verse two, Drake raps:

“Wah gwan, Delilah? Know I’m late ’cause there’s bare traffic. I just show my dog your ‘gram. He said he knows a man that slapped it, I’m so cheesed. Your ‘mademoiselle’ nights are geeked, I’m bend lowkey. Wah gwan, Delilah? Double date me if you like me, brought my cro’nem for your bestie. Sorry, he’s wearin’ a shiesty, he’s not beat. It’s just too smokey in these streets. You’re looking sweet.”
