The next song Drake will release is called “Showin’ Off,” but we aren’t supposed to know that yet.

According to Complex, the rapper’s latest track—which he’s composed with a sample from the iconic Lauryn Hill—was prematurely posted to SoundCloud and heard by several people. While fans are amped about the long-awaited new music from Toronto’s very own, Drake is not happy about the way it’s been shared.

Capital Xtra reports that Drake’s label, Universal Music Group, issued a cease and desist to the individual responsible for the leak.

The clip has since been deleted from SoundCloud, but that hasn’t stopped multiple other fans from grabbing the track and sending it around.

Eagle-eyed fans got a taste of what’s to come after Lauryn Hill’s son, Joshua Omaru Marley, posted a snippet of the track to his Snapchat earlier this month. The post was captioned: “Drake x Mom. Nobody has this but me.” Evidently, the taste left some fans wanting more.

According to those who heard the leak before it was removed, Drake samples Lauryn Hill’s song “Ex-Factor.” In one verse, he reportedly raps, “With your phone out, gotta hit them angles. With your phone out snapping like you fame. And you’re showing off, but it’s alright, and you’re showing off, but it’s alright. It’s a short life.”

Drake is reportedly working hard on the album meant to follow “God’s Plan,” but there’s no release date as of yet.
