By the time the sun began to peek over the Atlantic horizon, the master track was finished. The file was labeled simply: The Anthem.
Khaled paced the floor, shouting ad-libs that fueled the fire. "We The Best! They didn't believe in us!"
As the beat dropped—a soulful, high-pitched vocal sample layered over aggressive 808s—Drake began his flow. It was effortless. He rapped about the weight of the crown and the view from the top, his voice cutting through the smoke-filled air with surgical precision.
The song didn't just play; it traveled. It moved from high-end Miami lounges to the local speakers of Northern Nigeria, proving that while Khaled and Drake provided the spark, the global community of listeners provided the oxygen that made it burn.
