Toronto’s Casper TNG put his own verse over Drake’s “Quebec” on Wednesday, a day before the song was slated to reach streaming with a batch of FOMO cuts.
Six weeks after his debut album arrived, Casper TNG has picked up someone else’s song. On Wednesday, September 30, the Toronto rapper release a remix of Drake‘s “Quebec,” keeping the original production intact and writing his own verse into it, shadowing Drake’s cadence closely while swapping in lines of his own.
Signal. What happened: Casper TNG released a remix of Drake’s “Quebec” on September 30, 2026, rapping over the original production and matching Drake’s flow with his own lyrics. Exact object: “Quebec” (Casper TNG remix), a reworking of the Drake song first released as a standalone YouTube video on September 19. When and where: out since Wednesday, September 30; Drake’s original is slated to reach streaming services on Thursday, October 1, as part of a batch of songs from his FOMO film. Source: Rolling Stone Canada’s report on the remix, plus Drake’s own livestream comments on the streaming release. Why it matters: it ties one of Toronto’s fastest-rising rappers, fresh off a major-label debut, to one of the first FOMO songs Drake chose to give its own video, on the eve of that song’s wider release.
Drake’s “Quebec” has spent most of its short life outside the usual channels. It first surfaced inside FOMO, the film Drake premiered on YouTube in mid-September, then arrived as its own music video on September 19, set to aerial footage of Montréal and carrying a lyric that names the province outright. The song opens in R&B territory before settling into a bouncier rap pocket, which gives a guest plenty of room to work.
On a livestream late Monday, September 28, Drake told viewers that a bunch of FOMO songs would land on streaming services Thursday, adding that not all of them would make the cut. “Quebec” has been widely expected to be among them, though no official tracklist had been published at the time of writing. The release would follow three full Drake albums that all arrived on May 15.

Casper TNG is Sharrieff Muhammad, who grew up between Alexandra Park and Regent Park in downtown Toronto and was uploading songs to YouTube by the early 2010s, his stage name shortened from a childhood nickname, The Neighbourhood Ghost. His 2015 track “Dope Boy” was the first real breakthrough, and a decade of independent singles built a loyal local following before the industry caught up.
The turn came with “The Market,” his 2025 collision with fellow Toronto rapper 100Bandplan. The song spent 14 straight weeks as the top sound on TikTok in Canada, was certified gold when he signed with Universal Music Canada on March 24, 2026, and had gone platinum by July. An official remix with A Boogie wit da Hoodie followed on May 1, and in June he launched his own label, PuzzL Music Collective, in partnership with Universal, with early rel from K Money and 100Bandplan. Rolling Stone Canada also named him to its first Future of Music class.

Draft Day arrived August 18 as a 14-track set with guests including A Boogie wit da Hoodie, M Huncho, OzzCash, K Money and 100Bandplan, bookended by “Trap 4 A Year II” at the front and the original “The Market” at the close. The title comes from his basketball background, the draft being the moment a player’s professional career formally begins, and he has framed the album as a starting point that only exists because of the years of work behind it. Its visual campaign was shot across Paris, London, Thailand, the Dominican Republic and Toronto.
