Jace of Two-9 posted a video which features two of his older recordings, which have beats that sound very similar to tracks from Drake’s If Youre Reading This Its Too Late.
“real 6ix god boy.” Jace says on Twitter. “im not salty. Like I said…im just saying.”
The tweets are accompanied by a video that shows Jace looking through his computer archives to play a track he recorded last year.
“This song ‘Mortal Kombat’ Jace,” Jace says in the video. “ All right, I recorded this here almost a year ago, last year like June-ish, July-sish. Tell me if it sounds like anything. I’m just saying my nigga. I’m just saying.”

The beat in Jace’s recording sounds similar to the beat used in Drake’s “6 God,” which was produced by Boi-1da and SykSense. The Boi-1da and Frank Dukes-produced “No Tellin” is also implicated by Jace.
“This is a song called ‘Ain’t No Tellin,’” Jace says in the video. “I made it two years ago, 2013. Tell me if this sounds like anything. I’m just saying. I’m just saying.”
Last year, Drake was accused by Puff Daddy of stealing the beat for the song that would become “0-100.” Puff Daddy addressed the issue to a Miami crowd.
“’I want to play this next beat,’ he said in a fan-recorded visual. “I gave this shit to this nigga. This nigga stole this shit from me. But at the end of the day, it’s still hard. Play this shit.”

He then proceeds to dance with Ma$e to the Boi-1da-produced tune.
Also in 2014, Drake paid Rappin’ 4-Tay $100,000 after recording a similar verse.
“Drake borrows lyrics from 4-Tay’s ‘Playaz Club’ on YG’s ‘Who Do You Love,’” HipHopDx reported at the time. “When 4-Tay did not receive credit for the song, he criticized the YMCMB emcee. TMZ reports that the two parties reached a ‘very lucrative agreement.’”

UPDATE: “6 God” co-producer Syk Sense disagrees with Two-9 member Jace’s claims that Drake jacked the beat for the song.
“I don’t know why Jace put it on Twitter like that, because I was in the studio the night he did it and we had a conversation,” Syk says during an interview with allhiphop. “I said, ‘Don’t put it out there that Drake stole it, because he didn’t.’ Drake had that beat first.”

In addition to saying that he played Two-9 Drake’s version of the song, Syk also says that Drake never heard Two-9’s version of the song featuring what would become the “6 God” beat.
