\"Drake,<\/p>\n

Sprite has launched a new range of limited-edition soda cans emblazoned with inspirational lyrics by Drake, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., and Rakim. The 16 can designs comprise the inaugural “Obey Your Verse” Lyrical Collection, which will run through summer. Artists were picked “based on their reputation for being true to themselves through their music and advancing the culture,” a press release says.<\/p>\n

In the press release, Nas, a longtime partner of Sprite, says: “Legacy means everything to me. When I wrote these lyrics, I never imagined my fans would someday have the opportunity to enjoy a can of Sprite and experience my art in a totally original way.”<\/p>\n

Lyrics will appear on individual cans as well as 20-ounce bottles and multipacks. See a table of the featured lyrics below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
