Drake


For my next blog, continuing on with the music theme I am going to talk about another famous rapper. This rapper has won numerous awards and has been dominating the rap game for a while now. Aubrey Drake Graham better known as drake was born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He grew up to a very musical family as his father was drummer for legendary rock star Jerry Lee Lewis and his mom also comes from a very musical family. Drake’s entertainment career began in 2001 when a fellow classmate’s father who was an agent landed him a role on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Drake came out with his first mix tape in 2006 which was called Room For improvement.  From here his musical career took off in a bang. Drake has been coming out with songs and mix tapes that have been dominating the industry. Some songs are Take Care, Headlines, Over, Underground Kings, and Practice. Some mix tapes that drake came out with are so Far Gone, Room for Improvement, and Comeback Season. Some different awards Drake has won are Rookie of the Year, Best track of the Year, Best Male hip hop Artist, Mvp of the Year, and Top Rap song.  Aubrey Graham goes by the stage name of drake but he has some other nicknames including Drizzy, Drizzy Drake, Drake Rogers, and Boy Wonder. Drake has recently just came to Buffalo, NY on June 8th at Darien Lake theme Park. Drake came along with Meek Mill, J cole, and Waka Flocka Flame. Talking to the people that attended the concert they said it was a really good concert and everyone had a lot of fun.  Drake has currently been dominating the radio more than ever and has no sign of slowing down. I look forward to seeing more of his music in the future. I got some information at http://www.biography.com/people/drake-596834.
