Drake & Pressa: “Inside the Elevator” Snippet Leaks — What We Know
Lead: A snippet reportedly from Drake’s ICEMAN project — titled Inside the Elevator — circulated online over the weekend and appears to include a feature from Toronto rapper Pressa. Fans quickly reposted clips, streamers amplified the snippet, and the leak set off conversation across Reddit, X and YouTube.
What leaked (and where)
Short audio and video snippets claiming to be a preview of Inside the Elevator were posted to multiple platforms. Low-quality snippets and extended uploads appeared on YouTube and were shared widely across fan pages and social channels, sparking debate over authenticity and whether the version is unfinished or stolen.
Is Pressa on the track?
Fan pages and social posts identified the featured verse as Pressa’s; Reddit threads discussing the leak echoed that identification. At the time of publication there was no formal confirmation from Drake’s camp or Pressa’s representatives.
Drake tells Adin Ross he doesn’t know “who the f**k those kids are” that leaked his song.

DJ AKADEMIKS CHIMES IN ON THE SINGLE
In a clip shared by @TINOISFUNNY on X, he claims that the song is titled “National Treasure” and that it features Pressa. He also says that Drake’s “No Face” video was originally meant to accompany it, and that Drake told Pressa this when the video was being filmed.
“This is why I think the song got leaked, truth be told,” he explained. “I think the song was supposedly promised to Pressa. Drake, obviously he’s been doing his own thing, he didn’t clear the song. They thought the song was gonna come out ’cause they thought he was gonna do a video. But he was doing ‘100 Gigs.’ He drops the supposed video with ‘No Face,’ the song never got cleared.”
Akademiks just went live on YouTube & Kick and played the exclusive Drake track that leaked over the weekend. 🎶
