Drake: Best I ever heard

Drake has become my new favorite artist. His songs are catchy, smooth, and vary in sound content. This 22-year-old started out in the show "Degrassi", a teen drama in which he acted in for seven seasons. When the young Canadian actor decided to branch out into rap, he turned to DJ Smallz and together they created his first work "Room for Improvement" (2006).

Drake released his second work "Comeback Season" a year later in which Weezy participated in. Weezy has since supported Drake in every way, including signing him for his "Young Money" record label. Since then, Drake has created and participated in chart-topping hits.

This young artist, a son of a Jewish Canadian mother and an African American father, has made a breakout in the charts with the songs "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful" in his 2009 "So Far Gone" album. Drake has been known to say that this sometimes gloomy album is about his journey into adulthood.

Since "So Far Gone" Drake has worked with huge hip-hop artists such as DJ Khaled, Young Money, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Young Jeezy, Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, Birdman, Trey Songz, and Jamie Foxx.

Drake's beginning as an artist has proved to be an impressive one. I'm sure his future will continue to be as bright, if not even brighter.
