The rappers teased that "What a Time to Be Alive 2" once again.

In 2015, Drake and Future dropped their What a Time to Be Alive project, and it looks like there may be more collaborative efforts in the works for this pair. The rappers haven't worked together much since then, but today Future posted a cryptic video clip to his Instagram story of himself and the OVO rapper. 

The camera kept moving erratically, but viewers can see Drake throwing up the number two. "What is that?" he says. "Two. We gotta cook that up," Drake says as he laughs. Future pans the camera to himself and smiles while saying, "It's already cooked. Top secret." The rumor mill has been buzzing that these two have been sitting on a completed project, waiting for the perfect time to drop the new record, and their recent antics have fueled speculations.

Earlier this month, OnSmash reported that they spoke to sources who confirmed that WATTBA2 is definitely finished. "The effort is said to be entirely new music and is not leftovers from their recording sessions over the last few years," they wrote. "It’s unclear when the two found time to lock in some studio time together; but we’re assuming Drake may be the deciding factor if it comes out or not."

Responses from fans on the possible forthcoming second collaboration have been a mixed bag, even though back in 2015 it debuted at number one of the Billboard 200 chart. Do you want Drake and Future to drop a Part 2?
