Earl Sweatshirt has hopped on a new remix of “Ion Rap Beef,” a 2018 song from Los Angeles rappers Drakeo the Ruler and 03 Greedo. The original was also recently included on the Free Drakeo compilation. Hear “Ion Rap Beef (Remix)” below.
Drakeo has shared a number of new remixes this year: He’s released new versions of Cold Devil’s “Ion Know Nothin” (with ALLBLACK and G Perico), “Out the Slums” (with Danny Brown), “Backseat Bandit” (with IAMSU!), and “Pippy Longstocking” (with 1TakeJay).
Drakeo is awaiting trial on charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle, stemming from a 2016 incident that left a 24-year-old man dead. The trial date has been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 outbreak, according to journalist Jeff Weiss. Drakeo was acquitted of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to murder last year.
