Common vs. Drake: the short diss track sequence

Three records frame the exchange

Common’s Sweet was released in December 2011 and is filed against Drake. Rick Ross’s Stay Schemin’ followed in January 2012 with Common as a target through Drake’s featured verse, moving the exchange from a solo album track into a collaborative single.^[1],[2],[3]

Common’s undated Stay Schemin remix answers Drake over the same musical framework. The absence of a precise release date is visible in the archive, so the track belongs after the dated January release without claiming day-level precision that the current evidence cannot support.^[1],[2],[3]

Billing does not decide who is responding

Stay Schemin’ is credited to Rick Ross, but Drake’s contribution creates the relevant target relationship. DissNation stores the recording under its lead artist while its target and annotation data preserve the featured performer’s role in the exchange.^[1],[2],[3]

This is a compact editorial reading, not an attempt to turn every adjacent interview or lyric into another entry. The archive includes released, qualifying records and labels the one unresolved date rather than filling the gap by inference.
